One More Day

Up before the morning sun

Trying to wrap my head around another day

What used to be a favorite song

Comes on through the background noise

I have to skip ahead because it makes me think of her

And the last thing that I need right now

Is to get lost in little reminderd

Of what’s left me in the year gone by

Especially when I’m facing another endless day

Then head off to put in hours

Thankless jobs for thankless people

Pressing though monotony of motion

Something sparks my memory

And suddenly I see her face

My reminder of what used to help me though

Then go home to emptiness

Wasted time and wasteful ways

I was supposed to break away

I was supposed to save her

And in the effort save myself

But I guess she didn’t need saving after all

So here I am another pointless day

Time to rest but still I’m sleepless

Another thought of her I can’t escape

On and on the endless repeat

Break the silence with more quiet

Nothing ever changes in my world

I just hope out there somewhere

She’s not suffering like I am

May she not make the same mistakes I’ve made

One more day and here we go again
