She isn’t’ going to argue with you;
there’s not enough time left
in the day.
It’s such a hopeless situation,
why put those struggles on display?
She knows the day
is coming soon,
when she’s going to leave this room
and cross into a new,
brighter point of view;
now she’s leaving you.
She sat through the blue of winter.
Christmas came and went
without a care.
The New Year dawned
the same old situation;
both of you just sitting there.
She can’t shine,
if she’s a shade.
Can’t go outside
and come back in.
Once she gets up
and starts walking,
she isn’t’ coming back again.
That light in her eyes
is only going to fade,
because she stayed
and didn’t listen to the way
the wind, it called her name.
She wants to do something great
before the colors that she loves
turn grey
and die;
that’s why she’s saying good-bye.
Wake up in the morning;
blue sky,
new dawn.
There’s something in the air,
it feels like moving on.
Every so often in your life,
the best thing
is going to feel so wrong,
but don’t be afraid to go;
just go.
Life is a thousand experiences,
not just one.
