The day that never comes

I can hear their screams
Crying out in the night
The pain, the dismay
These cries are not silent
To me

They cry out for peace
They cry out for relief
They cry out for attention
Until no one answers

Then the one's who loved them
Cry out at their bedside
Cry out at their graveside
Cry out for the one's they've lost

It's too late now
But I still hear them screaming out
I don't want their pain
I don't want their future
I don't want their agony

And on the weak days
My body doesn't really care
It absorbs it all
Till I want to run and hide

In the hopes it won't bother me anymore
But that day never comes.
