What Good Is
What good is a flower
with petals that shine so bright
that lives in the shadows
of a deep and endless night
What good is a dove
who has lost it's mate
that wanders the world alone
the remains of his life colored slate
What good is a life
where nothing is right
where rain smothers everything
extinguishing every light
Slipping fast
I'm calling out
I'm barely hanging on
Don't look back
No can't go back
The life I once knew is gone
What good is a mind
that's bend is broken
laying frozen in time
a secret song unspoken
What good is a heart
that can't see love
that's shattered so
with no hope from above
What good is a life
where there's nothing left
the corners are empty
marks of an unknown theft
Falling fast
I'm calling out
I could no longer hang on
Don't look down
Can't ever go back
The life I have will soon be gone
What good is a body
once beautiful and pure
that lays on the ground
broken and insecure
What good is a soul
that was once so light
not a moment of anger
to stain the perfect white
What good is a life
when no one cares
just to see how close you are
to wonder if you'll take the dare
Slipping fast
I'm silent now
There's no use in hanging on
No looking back
No going back
The life I lived is long gone
