i sat down and grief came to visit
The sun is almost gone
And a shadow bores through
I cry with freedom
Loss is consuming
Yet never gone least
The memories are fond
Time isn’t quite the norm
The past has vigor
While the present is forlorn
How unreliable it seems to me
How it comes to be a destiny
Uncontrollable yet liberating
The sun has set now while
i sit patiently working on emotions
of which i strongly disagree
Goodbye and hello it’s til
Tomorrow the sorrow runs til
tomorrow when the sun comes...
