Palindrome

I thought that maybe you were still here
But now I know you're gone forever
They took your sweetness and they squashed it
They broke your mind, they knew no better

Tangled your heart with violence and grief
Projected sins upon your living
That they were wrong is no consolation
A broken mind is not forgiving

In dreams I ask you if you've found relief
No longer bound by worldly beliefs
And so we sit here contemplating
Wishing we could have loved you better

To shine some light upon your shadow
To show you every day's a new day
The world just keeps on going without you
Remembering the child you once were
