Day by day it beats,
Day by day it aches,
And day by day it breaks a little more,
Holding onto hope of a brighter future that never comes

He waits for a sign,
A person to tell him where to go,
Or for the final moment of his life,
But alas,
Nothing comes of it

Time continues moving,
Patiently destroying the tortured souls,
Amused by the cries of the ******

I wish for good days,
I live through bad days,
I work through the day,
I cry through the night,
Hoping for better days
