the world spins
The World spins, nothing stops it. 
 Your life stops but nothing else does. 
 Life ends, life starts
 There’s always a new beginning, but the ending is what hurts
 I look, the people, they laugh-
 Can you blame them? 
 She was just engaged. 
 Her son was just born, 
 The girl down the hall, just turned thirteen,
 But my best friend , he just died. 
 
 Chills shoot up my spine, no, not the butterflies-
 I cringe; cry out, repulsed and disgusted
 How can this be?
 How can you be happy? 
 How can’t you see? 
 Can’t you see the pain that now surrounds you?
 I hold my breath, searching-
 Searching for the love, the laughter the joy he brings.
 It’s gone. 
 
 One door opens one life blooms-
 Five close, five lives end. 
 To me, you are the world-
 But the world has yet to stop spinning, even my world. 
 Now I must move on, move on from the days- 
 The days where you and me were one, 
 But I still love you, always will-
 Please don’t forget me, do not resent the inability, 
 The inability I have to stop. 
 Trust me when I say, if I could I would. 
 For you I would. 
 Baby, just remember-
 Your life is not yet over, no, it is just beginning-
 Beginning up above, somewhere new
 One life begins, five others end.
