This Sky Lives
I miss you
 Though I cover it with hate
 I miss you so bad
 Even if I know it’s too late 
 It’s a strange sort of love
 A reminiscent remorse 
 That chokes me on my own breath
 Makes my voice hoarse 
 But for some reason I can’t cry
 Even though my eyes burn red
 I long to tell you everything
 And then take back the words I said
 What a sick and twisted irony
 That when we could be friends
 You turned away from everyone
 And brought upon the End 
 And as selfish as that seems
 Please just listen to my side
 What would the sky do if, forbid, 
 The sun was not around to shine? 
 So ask yourself this question
 While you run away from here
 Leaving unimpressive footprints 
 Chanting, “This is how I disappear.”  
 Is that all you really ever wanted?
 To make yourself be scarce?
 To fade into the walls of home
 And see who’d miss you there?
 Or maybe you were just lonely
 You felt not but two-feet tall
 So instead of wanting to vanish, 
 You whispered, “Let’s see how far I can fall.” 
 But more than likely it was within
 A presence scraping around inside
 The idea that you were unhappy,
 Clung to the subconscious mind. 
 Well, those were all my theories 
 But no solutions came
 Because if I think of you too long
 I can’t ignore the pain
 So I'll try to block you out
 Your name is now taboo
 But please always be aware
 I won’t stop missing you.
 And now the world is always dark
 The land is bathed in night
 Because without its sun to shine away
 This sky lives without the light.
