April 15

Awake in the morning, It’s the beginning of the end, Stretching and yawning, Remembering when, I found out the truth, And you could no longer defend, You knew it was over, You could no longer pretend, I never knew I wouldn’t see you again. Ocean blue eyes, Staring into mine, Sparkling like sapphires, As blue as the sky, You’re laid with me, Up on your side, I’m lost in you, But I’m not hard to find. Wreaking havoc like a tornado, That comes raging in, So much destruction, And gone with the wind, Were you the same way with me, As you are with him? I don’t wanna know, I just wanna hide, I’m screaming out loud, But it’s all stuck inside, I know that they mean well, And they don’t want to pry, But please don’t ask if I’m ok, Because I’ll just start to cry. I would’ve crawled to the ends of the Earth for you, Just to hear you say my name, Now I’d crawl through broken glass, To rid me of this pain. Let’s get in the car, And go on a long drive, Let’s talk about what we’d call our kids, And how we’d live our life, Let’s talk about how much fun we’d had, And how you were my wife. We didn’t get that far because you drove us off a cliff, You took the wheel right out my hands, Saying you’d had enough of this. I look at you as we plummet to the sea, Even as we’re about to die, You can’t bare to look at me, (Let’s not get ahead of ourselves), This is all speaking hypothetically, But you might as well have killed me, When I found out the truth, On April fifteenth.
