One Day...

As I sat here surrounded by the dead,

I ponder over all the things that's been said

I've been here for twelve hours straight

Contemplating my fate

I realise now just how alone I am.

Nobody, dead or alive cares.

I am one

Amid life's glares.

Honestly, I don't know what love is anymore,

Everything I thought it was before,

It's gone now, right out the door,

Lord knows what's left in store.

So I decided to escape for a while,

To visit her grave for a day.

Maybe bring back some happy memories and a smile,

Thinking of how perfect we were in every way.

Here's a letter to her, if you don't mind.

Darling, you were patient, lovely, kind

Words fail to do justice for you,

An angel who loved me true.

As I sit here by your side,

I'm reminded of your virtues of grace.

You were never sarcastic nor snide,

You knew what to say to help me save face.

Now there's someone new,

Tell me what I should do.

She makes me happy when I frown,

But when we were together, you never let me down.

Ever since you left that fateful night,

I haven't been able to talk nor think right.
I am constantly drowning and I know not why

And around me, everyone feigns pity without blinking an eye.

Give me a sign that you sent her for me;

Give me a sign that I can be happy;

For almost a decade now, set me free,

Or am I to be condemned a decade more in this purgatory?
