for a brief second
i contemplated the notion of living forever
without you
of course
and in the course of that
momentary lapse in judgment
i decided
i wasn’t really feelin’ it
i could have a million sunsets
but not a single rise
and i could fake a million smiles
every one filled with lies
and those eyes, so many times i’ve
likened to the stars
i could paint a million times
and never heal the scars
the bars would all close
i’d be the only one left
praying to god there’s a god
and he’d give you more breath
so you could find me in the empty world
but would you even look?
the best thing you probably ever did
was leave this, half way crook
