In My Wake
written by Joan M. Meyer c 2016 (Jessie Rae)
Verse 1
I didn’t cry When he died
When we laid him Down to sleep
His life he did take Left me in my wake
My wake
Verse 2
He left me His soul to keep
I feel the ache There’s no breath to take
Is this the way it’s suppose to be
Lost my faith in humanity
In my wake
Bridge
Rest in peace
It takes the pain away
Gone forever
In such a permanent way
Verse 3
This too shall pass
That’s what they say
Time can change your mind
And bring forgiveness
It sounds too cliché
In me your pain will stay
In my wake
