THEY JUST WALKED AWAY

- March 30, 2018

One more dark night

And it will be over

Only one foggy hour

And it will be forgotten

Sitting alone behind my closed door

A bottle of poison beckon from the rack

As I remember how we were as lovers

You are now married to the rich thief

I know we are done and you are gone

I still loved all the happy moments we shared

It was the best of my simple life

I'm mad at you and at myself

Because I can't stop loving you

My heart has stumbled on the subject of suicide

Pondered in its darkness briefly

But as I near that ecstasy of death

I crave for life once again

I must stay and fight for my place in destiny

Only cowards run to hide behind shallow graves

My heavy heart will never stop asking

If this is how people just walk away
