Dead is a State of Mind
She wore red eyes, smeared makeup and all black today
 I knew there was something on her mind, but what it was she wouldn't say
 So I said "I love you" and I hoped her sadness would fade
 But my darkest fears came true, my nightmare came to life and she just turned away
 
 No
 I shouldn't be this empty
 I shouldn't be broken-hearted, so defeated
 No, I should be strong
 But how can I be strong when my life is gone?
 
 She'll wear heavy makeup, bright blue eyes and all white that day
 I see it now, and I know she won't want to but she won't say
 She thinks she has to spend with him forever and a day
 My darkest fears came true, my nightmare came to life and she walked away
 
 No
 I shouldn't be this empty
 I shouldn't be so broken-hearted, so defeated
 No, I should be strong
 But how can I be strong when my life is gone?
 
 And she's walking away, and she's walking away
 As I'm calling her name, as I'm calling her name
 No, my life, my love, my strength, my hope
 Desperately clinging to every last memory
 No, my hope, my peace, my heaven, my home
 I tried so hard to try and give her all of me
 
 Shouldn't be this empty
 I shouldn't be so broken-hearted, so defeated
 But how can I be strong?
 Gone, my life, my love, my strength, my hope
 Still listening to the echoes of our sweet melody
 Gone, my hope, my peace, my heaven, my home
 She just turned away, no, she walked away, and everything is gone

I really would have liked to say more when I commented yesterday, but I had to get off. I really like how it was ominious and different from most love poems(It was a love song, right?). It was cool how dark it was.
