October 12 (Bali Bombings)CJ Levinson

I wonder what you sawWhen you looked at the world?Did you see how far we'd come?I wish I’d known how to open your eyesSo that you could really see

You asked me why I don't believe in GodAnd I still don't know if I can explainAll I know is the saddest thing I've ever seenTook all my faith away

On October 12 October 12

I looked for you amongst the ashesOf that terrible, broken placeBut the smoke caught in my eyes and lungsAnd pain was all I could see

I stayed up for days, trying to find an answerBut you were gone foreverAnd the last time I saw youIs the last thing I'll rememberLying broken beneath bags of iceGone forever

On October 12October 12

We were so youngThinking we could live foreverWe could never really see

But I’ll wait for youAnd I’ll remember youForeverLicenced under a Creative Commons Licence
