Nobody Knows

by Twan - Aries

I pretend I know it all, I pretend it all makes sense
Without you there to lead me my body grows tense
with fear, it's been months without you but still
it hurts every single day but I fill
my days with stuff that means nothing at all
I dream about you but outside my skull there's a pall.

Can't seem to understand how this could come to be
For nobody understands how I feel, only me
We were supposed to have years together but there's none
Many nights should have been, many days in the sun
I can't understand it at all, you should be here
You can't leave me, I demand, with a little boy's fear

The monsters have come and taken you away
I understand less now then I did that horrid day
How could it be, I ask, that medicine couldn't save you?
I hope heaven has a place, I pray, for two
They say a child only becomes an adult, when life unspools
but how's that possible? How could a sentiment so cruel
Be accepted by people who are otherwise smart
How do you try to ignore a broken heart?

I only allowed myself to cry once, cause a man
doesn't cry when faced with pain, he throws hands
he wants life back how it was before
but there's no rewind button, no more
I find my resolve slipping slowly, softly away
For that pain destroyed my ability that day
All the brains on the planet couldn't do much when faced
with mortality that left my mind spaced
All letter grades dropped, I considered walking away
No one could blame me after such a destructive play
But that's not what you wanted, not what you wanted from I
I had business to handle, and you wanted me to fly.
It's been five months without you. Nobody knows what I go through
Faced with life without you...I don't know what to do.
