Lost 9-11

it's never been darker
and i begin to believe
that the barrier to the spirit world
really isn't so strong after all

i sneak out of my window
lay on the grass
look at the stars
and i feel safer
somehow

i pray for them, all of them
who died ten years ago
sunday
and i hope they can hear me

'i'm sorry
you were all so brave
you deserve another chance
you faced death
with smiles on your faces
and loved ones on your minds

-to the firemen

maybe you were afraid to burn
you had nothing to lose
how you could be so confident
is a mystery left forever unanswered
i admire you
and the way you killed yourselves
rather than letting them touch you
you were fearless

-to the jumpers

we will take good care of them
i promise

-to the parents

their brave spirits will live on forever
in you

-to the children

someone out there loves you
and mourns your loss

-to the alone

are you happy now?

-to the suicidal

we miss you

-to the lost'
