Black Sunday

Live through your life

Day by day

Now you've hit a wall

On this black Sunday

 

She slapped your face

And screamed at you

You stood screamed back

It's all you could do

 

She walked out the door

Slammed it shut

Took the memories

Down in a rut

 

That was three years ago

This black Sunday

The day she tore my heart

And ripped it away

 

I stared into the grass

Like I do each day

Fall to my knees

And begin to pray

 

No one could listen

Except the stone and god

I lifted my head

Couldn't bring myself to nod

 

A few hours after

That black Sunday

A drunk driver

Hit her car that day

 

I bring my eyes up

To stare and see

What exactly

Was staring back at me

 

Not your eyes

Nothing was shown

Except the carved and cold writing

On this tombstone

 

"Im sorry honey

I shouldn't of yelled

You may still be here

And you would be loved"

 

I'm sorry couldn't cut it

I live just to say

"Dont miss me honey

You know I'll be back the next day"
