Tears

Standing alone on the edge of the cliff
Thinking about my verry last wish
Feeling as though I could touch the sky
Had the angles heard me cry
Forgotten and lost
That's what they say
In the orphanage day by day
Family forever that's not true
If it were were were you
Screaming out loud
The heavens reach
Stepping forward just one feet
Air around me
On my skin
The ground approaching
The devil did win
