Remembrance of a Depressing Day

 

She’s killed my love

For anything at all

Now I find myself doubting

If I live, or if I fall

 

Is there a sun today?

The world seems so dark

The shadows are consuming

What’s left of my sorrow

 

But I keep pushing forward

I really don’t know why

I guess I’m just not ready

To yet completely die

 

So, today begins the chapter

Of a book started long ago

It’s about everyone in love

And a boy who has nothing to show

 

A boy who tried so hard to love

But could never make anyone care

And when he falls, he looks back up

Wishes he’d stop breathing the heavy air

 

He wishes someone noticed him

But he gave that up long ago

So, he sits in darkness, remembering her

And watching the rain gracefully flow
