Silent Blossoms Falling

Verse 1: I thought our bond was thicker than blood But it wasn't enough to bind you here Blossoms are falling, and I've lost my voice So I haltingly tap on my device Pre-Chorus: Life often makes no sense But I keep trying to make it so In my mind, you were my sister From that first memory long ago Chorus: Blossoms fall to the ground silently I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down The silence is stifling, it’s breaking me No sound, no words, in emptiness, I drown Verse 2: A long run in the tropical sun A work event, your face sweaty, heavy bag Halfway through, you looked exhausted "Let me carry your bag," I said Shin splints for months, but that first memory Still makes me smile Pre-Chorus: You were a good friend, always supportive When others weren't, but wanting and expecting More than life could give For a long time, you were perfect And at times, that made it hard Chorus: Blossoms fall to the ground silently I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me No sound, no words, just an empty sound Bridge: Your expectations so high Sometimes only you could've reached Never finding someone true Now your silent end was alone I'm angry and sad all at once Chorus: Blossoms fall to the ground silently I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me No sound, no words, just an empty sound Verse 3: I tried to be there when you needed At work, or halfway across earth I admit, I lost patience at times Wanted you to see the world my way But you were you, and that’s why I love you like a sister Verse 4: Remember the popcorn chicken, The vendor thought we were having an affair And when you worried about Hanta virus, I sent a link with a hazmat suit flair I had such a good smile and laugh When you opened the link Pre-Chorus: Your lists ran your day Sometimes frustrating me, getting in the way I wish you'd enjoyed the moment more Found peace in what was But you were you, and that’s why I loved you like a sister Chorus: Blossoms fall to the ground silently I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me No sound, no words, just an empty sound New Section: I feel so alone right now Even in crowded spaces, I feel a phantom itch, on a missing limb And I want to cry, But too many faces to see In every direction I look Final Chorus: Blossoms fall unrelentingly Tears fall silently, splashing flowers on the ground Silence deadens, in this moment, breaking me No sound, no words, just an empty sound Outro: Your mind and resolve were stronger than your body It makes no sense, and I don't expect it to But my emotions refuse to stop asking why And my reasoning has lost this battle How can someone so full of life no longer be here? The silence now is unbearable, it’s all I hear.
