Respect

Why do so many flock in the aftermath of pain
To pay their respects they all seem to claim
Well, why wasn't that love given and those respects paid
When she was only a few feet away

It seems that when there is nothing else you can possibly do
You'll loose sleep thinking of all you may loose
And when nothing you can say will ever change the hurt she felt
You'll talk in your sleep hoping the pain will somehow melt

In the presence of these forests of cement and clay
There have also been warriors that have never strayed
These angels gave her hope for they were her stars
During those final hours they helped heal her heart
