Torn From Paradise

All good things ripped away in a flash

Yet they are so hard to find

From paradise to expelled in a dash

What an evil trick on the mind

-

Struggle and the fight were meant to be in the rear

Things of importance all to focus on

From the smiles of a happy everyday life

So quickly, it too can suddenly be gone

-

All the pains of goodbyes and goodbyes not said

Behind is all the worry of another war to fight

Simple memories bring a tear for those of the dead

Hands pressed together wishing to again see the light

-

What does one do once expelled from paradise

Feeling the pangs of being unwanted and cast aside

Looking to the skies with worn and wet eyes

Little parts crying from the inside

-

What are you to do when torn from that sweet embrace

The warmth and simplicity of the world had finally been yours

What to do when you can no longer find that place

When life's feeling like it's pushed you out and closed the doors

-

For those who find heaven, hold onto it so tight

Guard it with common sense and use all you can to stay

For those who find peace, remember it well in hell

For there is no guarantee you won't be torn from heaven one day

-

In the blink of an eye, cast out

I think I was in heaven

With all my anger, I shout

I know it was the closest I've been to heaven
