Somewhere

Scream

Is it possible?

I ask myself this as I look into the eyes of such kindness and thoughtfulness

You light up the room and I want to be in that light too

But I've seen the way she looks at you with that admiring look

And I know that at once, you're a goner

You were an only child

Who wanted a little sister

Slowly, I turn away from the scene

Away from the crowd and noise

I almost thought I caught your eye on the way out

But it was my imagination

It was always my imagination

Just as it is that the sun turns to the Earth every day

To paint the sky blue

So too is losing you

The first night is the hardest

The cold Atlantic breeze dances in from my window

I hold the covers to me

But they don't seem to fit right

And no matter how hard I try to sleep

My head doesn't feel right on the pillow

It's not a soft bed of flowers

It is the concrete

Outside my window

Far below

On the ground

Where the shoes of workers trample everyday

And the air that blows from the fan

Makes a symphony of sounds

"Enough," I say

But it continues on and on

Over and over

Until I scream
