All I Could Think

It began quietly, as many things do.

In fact, it began while I was thinking of you.

 

The tears started to form in my eyes,

And my lungs became filled with a thousand sighs.

 

The tears then quietly streamed down my face,

And all I could think was, "Ha, what a disgrace."

 

So I sat there for a while with my face in my hands,

And all I could think was, "Ha, nobody understands."

 

It was then that my throat began to feel tighter and tighter,

And all I could think was, "Ha, I never was a fighter."

 

Eventually I began to quietly whine,

And all I could think was, "Ha, I was supposed to shine."

 

Soon I opened my mouth and let out a million silent screams,

And all I could think was, "Ha, there go my hopes and dreams."

 

Mere moments later I had cried my eyes dry,

And all I could think was, "Why?"

 

"Why did I waste so many tears,

On someone who has given me grief for years?"

 

"Why did I think you would've changed,

And not still be emotionally deranged?"

 

"Why do I put myself into this predicament time after time,

And think you won't commit another perfectly devastating crime?"

 

So I got back on my feet and wiped away all my tears,

And all I could think was, "Ha, it's time to be happy again for the first time in years."
