It’s a sad existence For me, at least The simplest things in life Never cease to fail me I don't have it hard I am as plain as Jane gets My existence is Pin straight Dutifully brown hair Eyes like dark curtains in a dark room I am merely the wallpaper The sky behind the sun Or sometimes the early morning fog (on my good days) It’s a sad existence
I have friends of all sorts But nobody to sit with at lunch I am probably too bothersome Like the pigeons that sit on the roof And peck at the windows Or maybe I’m the moon Cherished by night, But ignored by day I am as sad, somber And sometimes I burn bright like the sun (in my good months) It’s a sad existence
I have love He sits beside me everyday But he chooses to ignore that fact That the room lights up every time Our eyes meet And instead He runs after the girls who will forget him in a heart beat Which is ironic because I often figure he’d do the same to me But yet here I am We are very much the same Running after people we can’t have (everyday) It is indeed a sad existence
