In The Still of the Night

In the still of the night when you are alone
Unable to sleep when your mind starts to roam
The time to when this tragic act took place
Your heart seeks solace and a warm embrace
Remembering the last time you seen their face
You mind plays tricks and plays with your head
Triggering nightmares that you now dread
Where do you go and what do you do
You feel so lost and no one to help you
In the still of the night when your heart cries out
You lost your child you just want to scream and shout
But alas it's no use for who is to hear
The emptiness you have and all of the tears
Your faith and life leaves you wondering where to turn
Deep in your heart you know what you yearn
A life so precious and dear to thee
Is now gone for eternity
