sparkling lights, yellow and red,
swaying in the breeze, dancing,
to it's tunes, for the better times ahead

and i'm still here,
even after you left,
gasping for air,

struggling,
still breathing,
heart still beating,
blood still flowing,

soul burning,
there's so much pain,
bright, then flickering,

time's flying,
i've stopped crying,
i've been surviving,
just not living
