Sunrise

It's hard to see the sunrise
hidden behind the goodbyes
That I hear every morning
When I think of you instead

They don't seem to mean that much
When everything is so fucked up
And I lost the only precious thing
That let me love myself

It seems showers just get colder
Every song just gets older
Nights just seem to get more gloomy
Since I've lost the light that was you

Every movement is more hurried
Because I will admit I'm worried
That my body cannot live
Without a loving touch from you

I've begun to feel decrepit
Maybe it's easier to accept it
In the mirror all I see
Is a reflection that holds you

Slipping through my fingertips
Your soft blonde hair and those lips
The ones that pressed on mine
Shooting sparks into my soul

I will admit it's become dark
Even more still is my heart
All my blood has gone black
It's only ever beat for you

I wait for sunset every day
And I pray there is a way
To expel all the thoughts of you
I carry at all times

Until then I will do
Whatever it is I have to
To live this life and see color
Juxtaposed with my blackened soul.
