Pulse

ou would hide a face of pain

Laugh at all the hurt before you

Nothing would cloud your smile

You were stronger than me

When she graced your life you changed

Past erased by a new-found presence

Walls that you once had built

Fell when she arrived

There came a beast, tore out your heart

Drained your blood while I watched

Before my eyes, you were destroyed

Left me there on my own

At times I did think you’d heal

When I saw the strength in your eyes

That glimpse would bring me hope

A beacon in the night

Soon hope would fade and you’d fall apart

Fallen angel of mine

Before our eyes, you were destroyed

Left us there on our own

Fell down, fell down

I reached out for your light

Failed to stay strong

As you let go of life

Not sure that time will heal

All the pain and hurt we suffered

Still, now is far from then

Nurtured by her laughter

Caged in your heart, striving to be

The beast will always haunt you

Wounds of the past shall bleed again

But you will heal by our side

Fell down, fell down

I reached out for your light

Failed to stay strong

As you let go of life

Failed to stay strong

But I will hold you now
