A Chance of Light

that sweet taste still lingering on my tongue
It's a reminiscent mockery of what I'll never taste again
not much you can do once all is said and done
when was the last time that you smiled?
I really can't remember when
we all have to run this this line
it's all we really can do
I know it's been raining for a while
but I am pretty sure it will end soon
it's been hard, that i'll admit
but I hope for a future we both can live
you've been gone, it seems so long
tears at my mind like a prong
I want to make you smile again
but I really can't remember when
you seemed happy here long ago
but now you're gone so i just don't know
I want you happy but it's hurting me
thinking maybe I should break free
the longer I wait the more it hurts
a glimpse of joy I felt with you
I am starting to see this will not work
I think it's time I washed my mouth clean
not for my health, but for my sanity
this lingering sweet taste is not a gift
it's a curse adding to my lack of Vanity
a single chair in an empty room
seated and silent with nothing to do
but I must keep I know I have to
with as much as I have been through
I can't stop here, can't stop here...
out the window I can see the sun rise
try to convince myself it will be alright
not everyday can be that bad
I must keep trying, it's all I have
been up all night, no sleep again
thinking of days back then
as I see the sun's rays
I tell myself ,
today is going to be a good day
just a bit, I can smile again
