Hands clench slowly into fists,
I try to let it go-
let the worries just fly away
so easy like in the past.
Breathe it all in and try to let it out.
Draining me
like it always does-
but worry and fear
and memories of pain
collapse my lungs
before I even have time to blink;
black out the light of the sun
before I even have time to understand.
Shut down my heart
before ever I feel the pain-
feel the pain again.
Just tell me the words
that you want to hear
so they'll be the last ones
ever whispered in your ear.
Don't think that I don't mean them-
I'ld have poured my soul into keeping you
by my side
and in my sight
because by your side
I see the light.

So now you're gone
but the colors, the y stay;
life goes on and the world still turns-
the rain still falls
though the sun, it shines on.
