A Lonely Song

For Hailey. Rest peacefully.

Tonight there's a blood red sky,
and again I look up asking why.
Why did I have to let you go,
without learning all I should have known.
I hate it, I hate the world with all my heart,
for making me love you right from the start.
And I despise it even more right now,
for speaking of passion and showing me how.
For forcing me to miss you so,
and breaking my heart in one cruel blow.
I know it wasn't your time to go,
yet life closed the curtains on our lovers' show.
I wish I could be with you,
I wish I could breathe with you,
I wish I could leave with you,
I wish I could be where you are now,
Living with my love among the clouds.
Exit stage right, 'cause it just feels so wrong,
to still be down here, singing this lonely song.

This pours out a lot of emotions and the pain is released in each word you put on paper... the lost and reflection of it is beyond comprehension... I'm sure with these lines she is hearing them loud and clear... every single one of them....

Thank you miss Annabellee, I am glad you could enjoy it. :)
I find that sadly enough, sadness is the most potent of muses.
