Darkness sets in
Time defies its disposition
Taking me back to the days when I smiled as wide
As the black of night or the blue of summer skies
I was someone else back then
What happened to that kid?
He grew up all at once it seems
Leaving me the day you did
I drink to pass my waking hours
Storm clouds the only colors I see
And the song that we once said was ours
Is now a requiem set to a melody
My mirror shows the same man
It can't see below the surface
I lost my essence when I lost my purpose
What did I do?
I was so wrong to let you go
But by the time I came back to tell you so
Your heart belonged to a new beau
I didn't know what to make of your progress
You were so far along in the healing process
You'd convinced yourself that our one of a kind
Was no more than the product of a place and time
