One of Those Days

It was one of those days
When the room around me
Seemed emptier and smaller
There wasn't even place for solitude
And the walls had no time
To watch me or talk to me

It was one of those days
When loneliness wanted to come in
It was too cold outside for life to smile
Though not rainy enough
To wash away my secret wish
To not want to think about anything at all

It was one of those days
Just the day after yesterday
When existence tried to strangle my soul
And almost made it
Though saved temporarily by the hope
That these empty days would have no memory

It was one of those days
When I just wanted the minutes to leave me alone
To stop reminding me that they have no end
They just begin over and over again
Point at me and laugh at me
And won't let me close my eyes

It was one of those days
When thinking doesn't help
Even your absence had abandoned me
And I could no longer remember
What it was like standing beside you
Being able to dream about you

It was one of those days
When the music abandoned my night
I just wanted to to taste the sound of my name on your lips again
And fast forward life until a day
When there is no longer any space allowed between us
For you to love, to live, to breathe without me
