Crossing over to the other side
“Where do you stand in life?” Now that you ask!
Scared of it then ever before
Eerie feelings hold me back
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
You ask me some questions
Answering to them consume
A few weeks from my lifetime
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
A void still remains
Getting larger as I get old
A hole within my heart
Would never heal on its own
I can write my emotions well
On a paper not a minute wide
Enclose within you can find
Decades of my lifetime
Life has traveled, as if
Faster than the speed of time
When it hurts from deep within
I take some pills that get me through the night
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
Thoughts of my mind
Are running wild
Trying to create an image
Of the other side
Scared of that image
Wipes the slate clean
Starts all over again
Lost within this cycle
Of creation and annihilation
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
Sometimes, I wish
I was still a little boy
Father was my God
So wise and so strong
No worries to carry
No promises to break
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
Life started at the footsteps
Of our little house
Ended with the warmth
Of my mothers embrace
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
Yet, this reality hits every time
That I would be all alone at the end
No sorrows to carry me through
No mother to hold my hand
Who knows what would happen?
When I crossover to the other side
