You cry, but no one can actually hear you.

You wish that you were dreaming

And that your life wouldn’t be over in a mere hour

Just to see your family again

Before you become a shadow

In the night forever

A place once filled with light is darkness in its own description

Oh your heart is beating so fast like a drum

Then the last thing you do is cry

But no one knows what happened to you

All they will remember is the shadowy day known as 911.

Those numbers used to mean help, but no one helped you

Today you cried the last tear your eyes will ever feel

Regretfully, leaving the world with a shadowy good-bye

So all that’s left to do is CRY.
