One by One

Hell has found me late this night

And I can't seem to see

How everything will be alright

When no one hears my plea

He asks if I'm ok

I sigh and shake my head

He nods and looks away

I sit and stare ahead

One member left our side

For a different destiny

She gave in to her pride

And let go of family

One other lives away

Refuses to even speak

To those who all dismay

At his absence this past week

Another is now in pain

Lying in a hospital bed

What left is there to gain

When he wishes to be dead?

One by one they're falling

And there's nothing I can do

Instead I sit here calling

Praying I won't fall too

Dominus Vobiscum,
