I woke at dawn and saw that you were not there
A sudden sadness grew upon me
So grey, all the colours were lost
Deep into an overwhelming depression so bad I was drowning in my own misery
The promises you made had robbed me of my potential
The potential to be without you, but I just couldn’t do such a thing
You were like a drug that I knew would be a detriment, in what also pulled me in
The illusions blurred all my senses… even when I knew the harsh truth
My blinded faith could not escape the sharpness of your sword that struck me
Waking up that day brought upon my fear of disparity
My heart could not grasp this enduring pain of being nowhere else but in the dark
But with pain brought upon enlightenment
With enlightenment brought upon the self-awareness
So self-aware I realize would’ve never happened if you never left
The grey is still there, but the colours have flourished in all the right places
Now you’re just a memory
An archive deep… deep… deep down locked up, no email could ever open
