DRESSED IN BLACK
Nothing is amusing
This world is confusing
I don't want to eat
I can't get to sleep
I lay in complete darkness
My mind is a tangled mess
Thoughts run through my head
Some of how I often wish I was dead
My thoughts are running marathons
Searching for something to feed upon
They creep from ear to ear at night
Leaving me here to let them write
They enter through my ears and eyes
Escaping, through my fingers, fly!
I'm tired of trying to hang on
To a life that's already gone
I see a girl, all dressed in black
I see the tears she's fighting back
In her hand, a bouquet of flowers
She's been standing there for hours
She looks up to the clear blue sky
And screams at him, and asks him why...
However she already knows,
The pain she saw, covered with clothes
She looks upon the shining stone
And wishes that it was her own
I didn’t realized how this could,
Affect her, but now I know I should
Have thought more of the aftermath,
But instead I followed my own path
She wonders what if only…
It was because I was lonely
If only she could have been there
To make me stop, or make me care
To tell me there is always someone
Who will miss me when my life’s done,
Her heart is bearing some heavy boulder
Her father’s hand appears upon her shoulder
From her cheek she wipes a tear
And lays flowers someplace dear
That she remembers, although the world forgot
That she'll always love no matter what
Her heart she will work to mend,
For in the ground lies her best friend
