I Stood There Staring...

Rating: 5.0


I stood there, staring
Staring at the lifeless form.
Hearing faint sounds of voices in the background

I stood there, staring
Remembering what I had forgotten.
Guilt entered the evil heart
Why hadn't I remembered your warnings?

I stood there, staring
Swearing I wouldn't forget
That life is short and you will return

I stood there, staring
Seasons changing
Your warnings disappearing
Another soul leaving

I stood there, staring
You came like a storm
Giving me a warning

I stood there, staring
Remembering this cycle
My time will come just like the soul,
I have been watching all this time.

I stood there, staring
My, forgetting all those warnings
They're forgetting, all my existence

I stood there, staring
