i came by today

i came by today

my feet crunched on the gravel ground

as my hands pushed the gate

and it creaked open wide

i came by today, quietly i walked inside.

the rain ran down my face

i couldn't tell it from the tears

both salty on my lips, impossible to hide

sadness fresh after 15 years  

i came by today, and quietly i cried.

i came to talk to you today

i maneuvered through the stones

i didn't wanna walk on anyones abandoned shell

surrounded by people i was all alone

and i stopped at where we saw you last

and i sat there on the ground

i was shaking soaking wet

i couldn't make a sound.

talking to myself again

i mumbled "i miss you still" 

and you weren't there to hear

i know you haven't moved

but i know you're not here

im as close as i can get,

but you don't feel very near.

i miss you i screamed

angry at the rain, 

i came by again today

and then i turned to leave

grave stones arnt for the dead

or the living, and arnt for me.
