One Day
One day
it's just been one day removed from
from what once thought to be a miserable past
a darkened hourglass, emptied and broken
faded, swept, discarded
You won't find it, once said
it's been carried off to the dumpster, the incinerator
carried by fire, turning to ashes in the wind
Here's a ball, place it over these words
a sing-a-long
as A Day to Remember screams: 'I swear I'll never be happy again! '
It was then bloomed to be true
happiness would never reign
as the clouds would grow in number
turn a mix of red, black, grey
a mixture of sunset with rain clouds, enter the gloom
The storm that would last years, a feeling of centuries as the days give birth to the same emotion
grieving in literature like death was premature
and limbo was more home than reality care to give
all because of a girl
Leave it to a cartoon to voice a thought out loud
so not a single shred of embarrassment can be felt
'Why can't I just like a girl? '
but it wasn't like, it was love
a special kind of love, it was mutual
until it festered, erupted into a relationship
one of those destined to go the distance, a happily ever after
if you believe in fairy tales like Disney would fabricate
but that very fabrication in defense
became a belief so brought to life sought a prince
to rise from nothing, obscurity and loneliness
to become an important someone
to keep the heart of a woman, a future queen
who didn't need anyone but she was...enchanting you see
To go the distance, it was meant to be
but it was distance you see that decided to take her away from...
