How strange to feel in one moment that the
world has ended.
Engulfed in darkness, sinking so deep.
Finding oneself in a torturous place, a different reality,
One that will continue forever.
Days, weeks, months pass and here I remain
Is there a flicker of light? Sometimes I think so
But then, no, no, there is no light.
Or maybe a little, just for a second
But the consequences, the consequences of that moment,
They lie heavy on my heart
Light, life, a reason for being. Guilt.
Guilt that I’ve forgotten, that I no longer love her
But can I continue to exist here, engulfed in darkness?
No, no, I can not continue like this.
I can not continue with this pain, this grief.
Yet I cannot allow myself to have purpose.
What is the answer? Is there an answer?
Oh how I wish I could change things, fly backwards faster than time,
What would I do differently? I’d do some much differently,
There is so much I regret, so much I regret.
Every second I would cherish, every moment I’d appreciate
Enjoying the laughter, collecting leaves by the canal,
Let pass the negatives, they simply distract from joy.
Yes, given another chance, every second I would cherish.
But there is no second chance, you cannot fly, cannot defy the laws of
nature,
Here you remain searching for answers, and the answer,
There is no answer, just another question,
Are you now cherishing every moment with those that remain?
