The lights are off, I cannot see
I feel all that is, was, and will be
Sometimes pain comes so fast
That it leaves you in a full body cast
My hurt, my sorrow, my anger, my pain
Was all for someone else's gain
Perhaps the killing of my friend
Caused someone's torment to end
My heart aches, I have no hope
I have no idea how to cope
With the loss I know is always there
I cannot make myself not care
I can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't sleep
The price I pay I consider cheap
To the one that my friend had to pay
She saved my life that November day
I think about the way she died
I wonder about the tears I've cried
Am I crying for a good friend dead
Or for the bullet meant for my head
I wish to die but I cannot
Instead I stay on earth to rot
My life is no longer mine to take
Because she died for my sake
My life belongs to Him on high
Or at least that is my alibi
As she died my friend told me
Of a great eternity
With a being that loves us all
I think of her words- to my knees I fall
She told me that she'd saved my life
And it was hers because of her strife
So she was giving it to God the Father
I was going to be His daughter
I should learn about the one to whom I belong
About he who has never done any wrong
My life isn't worth the price he's paid
Two times my wretched life has been saved
Since one thousands of years have passed
Two- last week's breaths should have been my last
So I know that two different people really loved me
They are both watching me, unseen
The light returns, the darkness is gone
I guess I will just keep holding on
