Going On

When I was 14 I was scared of being lost I met my best friend Who picked me up And she said the world would go on When I was 15 I sat with my best friend I told her I loved her She kissed me And said the world would go on Two months later I lost my brother My best friend held me while I cried She said the world would go on When I was 17 I met the love of my life And when she left I didn’t want my world to go on One month later She came back But didn’t stay long And the world went on Every now and again There’s a whisper in the bitter wind The cold bites my face The tears stain my cheeks I sit alone I think alone And I dream alone Two months went by And I have scarred thighs I take another shot to drown the pain I cry for her, I grimace Because I know the world will go on.
