A Beautiful Place

When even darkness is no longer sad

but only calming, a brighter point, a light

and light is much too bright for eyes

well clearly nothing is right

Although I wrote

only for you to read 

I knew you never would

my heart is only full of greed

I will never learn, I never do

I know I can smile, but I won't

I know he would give me hope again

if I would only look at him a while, but I don't

I will only allow myself 

to stay as I am, which is sad

If I cried, until I fell asleep

is that bad?

Instead of seeing things

that could make me smile

instead of being with my friends

I sat here in the dark awhile

Instead of music that makes you dance

that makes you always sing along

I turned on music that makes me sad

pianos, violins, a wordless song

You said  I should smile

"please eat" , you looked gently upon me

I refused again and laid down

"how many days is that now, three?"

It had been four, but I dare not correct you

"I love you, call if you need me"

you left the room with near crying eyes

and I cried in stupid self-pity

I looked out at the rain

the world is such a beautiful place

I saw a picture of us together

different tears stained my face

I pulled out my cell and called him

"Can you please come home now?"

in minutes you stood in front of my face

You found a way to smile at me somehow

"I'm so sorry", I hugged you as tight as I could 

and you looked back at me strange

then you smiled once again

since I last looked, really looked, you didn't change

You're hair was wet, probably from the rain

I weakly touched that face, once more

"Thank you for everything, also for loving me," I spoke and you cried

I dried those tears, "don't cry anymore."

You smiled and I fell into those arms

I know after years, you still may be sad

but go on, and I will watch you be happy then

I'm glad the last thing I saw was the smile you always had
