I waited for her silence Her screams echoed in the night My feelings of deception Bring loss to a life-long fight The girl just kept on screaming And there was nothing I could do I didn't mean to hurt her But their love was long since due I couldn't get her to stop screaming She was screaming because of my mistakes The tears of a falling soldier And the sewing of many breaks I couldn't tell where it was coming from Or how many people there were The screaming was in perfect harmony It shrieked of bloody claws I ran and ran as fast as I could But I just couldn't get away Why did I have to make those mistakes This nightmare won't go away by David Close, Jr. December 21, 1994
