Whispering Rose - A Dead Man

He walks among us
But he's not one of us
He's someone we love but didn't protect
From all the secrets he kept
He's someone we didn't understand but always judged
We have pushed him to the edge
The day came and he walked away
There was nothing that could make him stay
Years and years passed before I could see him again
He came home a different man
He has become a scattered soul
And yet he's still walking tall
It's been so long and he's now fading away
And still there's nothing we can do to make him stay
We can only say
Forgive us, we didn't help you
We always thought there was nothing we can do
Forgive us, we often forgot to ask how you were
Now we know it wasn't fair
Go back to were you come from
This is no longer your home
You've chosen this road
Suffer in silence, suffer alone
I can't ease the pain
Nor take it all away
I don't want to watch you die

unfinished but abondoned
