Failure

The nightmares came back
When she turned seventeen
Twisted faces in her windows
Painted dark red and obscene
The note that she left only said one thing
What choice did I have
When the last thing you’ve got left is your heart
There’s still one place left where you won’t be alone
Won’t you come home
The aftermath
Of such a pointless crime
The fire only took one life
Her father, and mine
But if I could tell her only one thing
I understand now
When the last thing you’ve got left is your heart
There’s still one place left where you won’t be alone
The last thing you’ve got left is your heart
There’s still one place left where you won’t be alone
Won’t you come home
