Last Chance

Lost in a shadow with no faith
Stuck in an endless hole
Where their arms are out of reach
As they begin to fade away
I stare upon the ocean
And see their smiling face
For this may be the last time
Until I might lose them
I beg for a last chance
To see them once again
Before I sink in a perpetual world of sorrow
For the pain will never end
I’ll forget who I am without them
As I’ll lose everything I know
For my world is incomplete
Without them there is no world
