Never have roses
Smelled so bitter
Never has a blue jay
Had such a sad twitter

Never has the sun
Shone without light
Never have the stars
Been dull, not bright

Never has music
Been so silent
Never has a breeze
Been so violent

The world should be colorful
Every single day
But ever since you left
It is all shades of gray

The sun drips away
You hold my hand
I want you to stay
But I know you can't

We kiss one last time
And hold each other more
Here you are forever mine
Our love we can explore

Then you go and fade
I cannot bring you back
This was never made
Or ever meant to last

Wandering into
The dark, deserted night
Hoping to see
A tiny glimpse of light
Keeping my feet
In a straight line
Remaining on the path
Making perfect time
The darkness soon dissolves
Any sense of hope
I know I am alone
I must learn to cope
Even though I desire
To go off the beaten track
I hear the wolves growling
Forcing me to step back
I keep my head up
As the rain pours down
I am solid gold
And I cannot drown

The shadow cast
Over the flowers
Seems so vast
The sun has the power
To lighten a dark room
To brighten any day
The flowers will bloom
They always find a way

The darkness is lightened
By the stars in the sky
And I am not frightened
With you by my side

You hold my hand
As we lie in the grass
We talk about our favorite bands
And things from our past

We discuss the earth, moon, and sun
And the origins of life
We wonder why people use guns
And why there is so much strife

You stare into my eyes
Moonlight twinkles in yours
For a moment we are hypnotized
Then the rain starts to pour

Both of us laugh
We leap off the ground
The sky shows its wrath
And you twirl me around

With your hands on my waist
We enjoy the refreshing shower
I can feel our hearts race
And the world feels like ours
