The Day

This was the day

The moment

The beginning of the end

The maelstrom of emotion

Forming in my head

Seeing her that way

For the first time

I wanted her so bad

It almost killed me

If only I had known

How much worse it’d get

If there was any indication

That it’d all fall apart

I’d have given up

And walked away when I could

But no, I steered my ship

Right into the iceberg

I was in far too deep

To see the glacier coming

The light she brought to me

Became the oncoming train

And I still haven’t left the tracks

I can’t

I fell too far too fast

Couldn’t catch myself in time

I could barely catch my breath

That moment she took it away

And though I’ve tried to get it back

And though she’s tried to toss it away

She still has it

Some year later

I’ll never be the same
