Every night, Every morning,
My lover talks to me,
Let's depart, come with me,
To a place where sorrow doesn't exist.

Tempted I was,
By this lover of mine,
To coalesce into a place,
Where sorrow doesn't exist.

Everyday, tormented I think not,
I eagerly wait for my lover's call,
Begging for it,
To convince me a bit more.

Every day, Every morning,
I live in a world where sorrow thrives,
Where hate blends with happiness,
Where deadly snakes are mixed with lovely vines.

Every day, Every morning,
I have finally decided to answer my lover's call,
A single leap is all it takes.
I see darkness, I feel my soul elevate,
I let go, hearing train horns as a parting gift.

"Jas!" My mom suddenly calls me from downstairs.
I don't respond, I merely head to where she was.
When I finally got there,
I look at her, as if asking "why?"
She takes the hint and says.
"Don't go to school tomorrow"
I nod and walk back into my room.
I don't complain nor ask the the question why. It's obvious.
Sighing, as if filled with ennui, I get my guitar and strum random progressions.

I get a text from Triz.

"See you tomorrow Jas!"

I don't reply.
