I've lost someone near and dear to me to violence. And while the pain never goes away, the scar always remains, it does get easier to bear. At the time it happened, I had to be physically restrained from suicide, and it took a spiritual vision for me to truly turn away from that. That was 9 years ago, and while I still miss her (I even dreamed of her last night which was both happy and sad upon awakening), I consider myself happy today. Since you're into songs, here's some I think of that remind me of her:
all that lies in me,
all that dies in me.
how can i live without you?
all that lies in me,
all that dies in me.
how can i live without you?
i am your mirror image,
i'm all you left behind
you made me what i am,
then who the hell am i?
but, we make the same mistakes.
cause, we are one in the same.
but, we leave behind the stain.
i cannot seperate.
all that lies in me,
all that dies in me.
how can i live without you?
do you think of me?
do you dream of me?
i always dream about you.
do you think of me?
do you dream of me?
i always dream about you.
all that lies in me,
all that dies in me.
how can i live without you?
all that lies in me,
all that dies in me.
how can i live without you?
--Ill Nino, How Can I Live Without You?
And this silence is her life
Falling fast into the dark November sky
Over voices she shall cry
Soundless screams are felt before the sun can rise
Hear her voice is strong as steel
Speaking long dead names to keep the evening still
In her heart rests all time
Trapped for now in faith that death is still alive
To the fields and seas again
Without sight we wander through the haze of this dark land
In a dream she gently cries
In a tear her story moves to find the floor
And she speaks before she goes away
"Carry on my friend, but leave me not alone"
'Til the reign of sleep again
Without sight we wander through the haze of this dark land
To the fields and seas again
Without sight she wanders trough the haze of this lost land
To the seas again
'Till we find our lives again
And the waves are crashing hard against the farthest shore
Bella Morte, The Quiet
They told me to run, but just how far?
Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
The hate in my eyes always gives me away
The tension building slowly
Now I lost everything I had in you
Nothing we shared means a thing
Without you close to me
I cant live without you
Breaking the silence of the night
Cant you hear me screaming?
I look for your face in the neon light
You never answer me
Theres no direction to my stare
No more flame burning in my heart anymore
Quiet, I keep it to myself
Until the sun sets slowly
I hear your voice in the evening rain calling
Nothing will keep us apart
No more lies and fear
Theres no end to our story
Breaking the silence of the night
Cant you hear me screaming?
I look for your face in the neon light
You never answer
I could make all the wrong seem right
If you were by my side
Id gather all the tears you cried
And hide them deep underground
--Queensryche, Breaking the Silence
And within a violet rose
Matures to fall in ash
Our fears, confirmed, do sleep
to trouble us no more
And in the dimming light
Her eyes still grace my thoughts
As haunting as the sea
As soft as winter's touch
--Bella Morte, Relics
