Why Oh Why

This, I feel, is one of my most powerful pieces when put to the music.

I'm walking down the halls

Through the manor of my soul

My footsteps are echoing

The hollowness inside

It just seems to me

That everyday will be

Harder than the next

Without you here with me

Cause when the night sets in

And the lightning screams

When the sun won't rise

I'll be begging why, oh why

Cause when the night sets in

And the skies start to cry

When the dagger twists

I'll be screaming why, God, why

That empty part of me

The void of loneliness

Swallowing my life 

And stealing the fire from my eyes

How did I let myself

Stand before this gate

Open the doors wide

And let the pain flood in

Cause when the night sets in

And the lightning screams

When the sun won't rise

I'll be begging why, oh why

Cause when the night sets in

And the skies start to cry

When the dagger breaks

I'll be screaming why, God, why

Author's Note

I don't want to delve into my meaning so much in these words. This was born out of some of the hardest times I have every faced. Please don't take my meaning, but look for your own. Thank you.
