Somber meadows.
Rivers full of tears.
Longing for a halo.  
Blistering winds whispering fears.

Grey sky withers.
Eye sockets eaten out by critters.
With earth that once birthed life,
Now bearing death.

I remember when the birds used to chirp.
I remember when one reaped how they worked.
I remember when Love was forever.
I remember the times we were together.

Why did the grass on the other side, have to look so much better?
Why did our foundation of brick turn into glass?
Why, oh why?
Did our paths sever?
When, oh when?
Did I become so lost?
Why do choices have to have a cost?

Sitting in these somber meadows.
With a river full of tears.
Longing for a halo.
Blistering winds whispering fears.

Being torn apart,
With weights I can’t bear,
Being torn apart,
With you no longer near.
