Day by day it beats,
Day by day it aches,
And day by day it breaks a little more,
Holding onto hope of a brighter future that never comes

He waits for a sign,
A person to tell him where to go,
Or for the final moment of his life,
But alas,
Nothing comes of it

Time continues moving,
Patiently destroying the tortured souls,
Amused by the cries of the ******

I wish for good days,
I live through bad days,
I work through the day,
I cry through the night,
Hoping for better days

Rippling,
Reflecting my reddish eyes,
The puddle grows with each passing tear
My eyes unfocus,
The shocking pain spreading across my body,
Bringing old memories of simpler times,
People lost along the path,
Including myself
Sinking to the ground,
My black tie floats on the puddle
I watch my one true friend drive past,
Knowing she’s crying in there,
And wishing I could be there for her
But all I am is one of those tears,
Dripping,
Splattering,
Splashing on the surface
But beneath,
Bonds are lost,
My life shattered with it
If only the shards were sharp enough to pierce my skull,
And not just my tortured heart

I need you,
I cry for you
I yell for you
I beg for you
But you don’t respond

I’ve waited for you
I’ve listened to you
I’ve worked with you
I’ve been with you
But you act as if we haven’t

It feels like yesterday,
When those blue eyes couldn’t part from mine
When those hands were mine to hold
When those lips spoke of love to only me

Now,
She says these words to someone else
She thinks this way about someone else
She gives those eyes to someone else

Yet here I am,
Feeling sparks whenever you’re near
Wondering if you feel them too
Reaching for your heart once more
Yearning the love we once had
The love I still hold within me

Answer me this,
Will you ever be mine?
