a starlit sky-line stretched out before us
i take your hand in mine, and we slip into the blissful darkness of the night
a city street in Seattle, dark and dank, stars blocked out by light
the wind blows like a cruel messenger
that summer is gone and winter is here
i pull my coat tight, as the throws of winter beat against me
where did summer go.
our hope and happiness, crushed against icy walls of the winter night
how did we come to this, smileys and laughter, the only reminders of summer
snowflakes one my window ledge, i sit and stare at the city before me
lights like and explosion of color replace the stars that dotted the sky
a hospital bed, the emergency ward, the smell of hope and death
your hand in mine, what happened.
tears fill my eyes, as darkness fills yours.
don't go...don't leave me...i need you
..........................
i sit on my rooftop, as day turns to night.
memories of you fill my mind. and im stricken with fear
how can i continue...you've left me here.
it should have been me
i deserved to go, to slip into the endless abyss
your picture in my hand,' in times when we had smiles on our faces.
.....how can i carry on.
