Jan 2013
It's not that today doesn't mean anything
And tomorrow seems empty
Because that's how it always is
How it's always been since that day
The day we changed
And I doubted it all and everything

It's not that I can't taste the colors
I can't hear the hues
Because I never could
Not without you holding the mike
And a speaker beside my ear
Leading your voice to my soul

It's not that the sky is empty
Without the presence of your fabled creatures
They wouldn't fly without you
Or even give me a second glance
When I begged their return

It's just that I'm lost without you
Without us I've no sense what to do
The world is a tattered, gray, lifeless stone
Cast from the heaving pit of Hades' stomach
As a penance to the sun
And it is no consolation to know
