Unexpected Company

Unexpected company Brings unexpected sorrow Leaving me emotionally drained For the beauty of tomorrow I try and put on a happy face And pretend that I am glad But every time I look at you I’m nothing else but sad I glance at you, you glance at me Nothing to be said And when there happens to be a talk It shrivels black and dead The wrenching in my stomach Will never go away My soul demands to forget you But my mind will not obey You don’t deserve the thought You don’t deserve my care You don’t deserve the happiness That you will always share Oh lost! Oh love! Can you hear my pain-filled cries? Have you gone away forever In your farewells and goodbyes? We’ll meet again I think You! The only one that matters And there will be unexpected company As my hope and spirits shatter The world will spin on and on The cycle will proceed As you dine in cheerfulness And I the darkness feed I should have seen it coming I should have seen you going I guess the hardest part Is accepting I am knowing I hope one day he’ll find me In my sickly state To cast away my only company— Emptiness and Hate

the unexpected company may leave you emotionally drained, but you have the strength to wipe away the pain.
