Lost In Time

When a parent loses a child

I remember when you were playing, you were barefoot in the sand

Building your white castles, reaching out to hold my hand

Running to the ocean waves, serenaded by the wind

Blowing kisses just like bubbles, a lifetime lay ahead

But you fade away, like a distant dream

Embrace the pain, it makes no sense to breathe

The empty words, please just let it be

I had never had the chance to say goodbye

Lost in time

The hands turned slow and steady, couldnt wait to start your life

The moments sped away from me, as you sailed into the night

Sound of your footsteps leaving, never thought that you'd be gone

Ringing in the hall at night, broken pictures on the wall

Now you've come and gone, like the falling rain

Embrace the pain, it makes no sense to breathe

The empty words, please just let it be

I had never had the chance to say goodbye

Lost in time

The pity upon the table, to bring a smile upon my face

I'm constantly reminded, that you're in a better place

The words are cold and distant, and they're tearing my apart

You are gone before your days, and I'm left with a shattered heart

The clock ticks away, and reminds me still

Embrace the pain, it makes no sense to breathe

The empty words, please just let it be

I had never had the chance to say goodbye

Lost in time
