The firefighter : his sacrifce

I remember my mother hugging me and crying. Screaming at the news.

I still leave the porch light on incase he comes home.

I took his helmet to show and tell everyday, explaining where each dent in the red metal came from.

I remember never letting anyone touch it.

I still leave the porch light on incase he comes home.

I remember putting his clothes away, as if he still needed them.

I remember setting an extra place at the dinner table for him.

I still leave the porch light on incase he comes home.

I remember the funeral, the gun salutes, the bag piper, and his gravestone.

I remember seeing the men in their uniforms.

FacadeAll along I pushed you down,
I watched you sink,
I felt you drown.

And through the fire and through the flames,
I feel you pulsing in my veins,
Oh, once again.

I'm in too deep, I feel I've lost control,
I've got an open wound thats gonna' take us all.
There's no room here for my broken soul,
So don't take my hand but just let it go.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, but I'll never let it show,
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah I'll turn that heart to stone.
Let it go.

The Queen of HeartsYou sing to me with empty words
Upon the throne in which I burn
Now as I lay thee down to rest
Never shall I soon forget

Masking darkness as the cure
With tempting thoughts that seem so pure
Please forgive my selfish ways
Indulgence left me in a haze

I am my own worst enemy
Torn at the seams of misery
Pierce my soul and hold my tongue
Affection coddled by a gun

I am a fraud, I live a lie
Traveling in a disguise
I see the world through diamond eyes
Yet the demons never seem to die

_{i love the shading and your technique here, it looks great! all very realistic and well done, although i can't help feel that the left side of the picture is a bit squashed? maybe it's just me. but this is still a very good piece. well done, keep it up}
