Joy

Appreciate life's joy

Stand and deliver

My joy to me now, I beg

I won't be alone

You took her from me

So now I can see so well

Lone life, nothing, pain

I was selfish then

Put my wants above her needs

Now joy is no more

Your crept in the night

You struck, ripping her from my arms

The world felt loss then

I miss her so much

Bright eyes, ethereal light

Joy was what she was

Death can be shallow

Hollow and always follows

Never lets you be

Death sees your whole soul

Human depths no challenge

It takes what it wants

It saw her love, strong

She gave always, never kept

She should be with me

Death had to have her

Claim her, frame her like a prize

She used to be mine

O Death won't you please

Won't you bring her home to me?

I need my joy back

I am nothing now

Lost life's great light, love's great gift

She's forever gone

O Death I miss her

I should have treasured my joy

She'd still be here now

I need her whole soul

I have to tell her, hold her

I need my joy back
