How will I
Yet it is now confirmed
How will I
And the vampire dwells in my stomach
How will I
And what kills many am it’s victim
How will I
I lost hope from the very day
The name was mentioned to me
I saw my own death
When the name was mentioned to my ears
I didn’t see the reason to live
When I thought of what had befall me
Today am writing
Yesterday I couldn’t
For my eyes were full of tears
Thinking of my duty and purpose as a father
And I was the one to be in a death sentence
How will I
Live to see my daughters cry
How will I
Live to see my family stressed
Yet i can die and they live
Crying for a week or two it’s better
Than crying each time they visit me in my death bed
I have to go
Go to a world of rest
Go to a world full of rest
I have to go family
I have to go family
I can’t hold on to any longer
But if I could, how will I
Yet I don’t have the strength to
