Tears in Rain

Hopeless
The feeling that will not subside,
That’s lingered since the night you died
I wish I could have helped you more
And opened up a tight locked door
I wish I could have seen your pain,
Your blood, your tears in pouring rain
I wish I’d listened to your plea
For someone close to set you free
And release you from the ropes of sin
That burn upon your beaten skin
I wish I’d been your alibi
I wish I’d never seen you die
The pills split now will haunt my soul
I wish I’d heard your story told
I wish I’d cleaned the mess of blood
And helped you drain away your flood
Of hurt that stained your very heart,
In icy chambers, torn apart
I wish I’d never seen your eyes
Alight with pain, the night you died
