SO LONG

I was walking in my own puddle of tears for so long,
Walking into disaster, pain, sadness.
Walking forever and ever, never knowing where I was headed.

I was standing in my kitchen, knife to my throat, for so long,
Contemplating the unthinkable,
In attempt to walk away from it all.
Walking forever and ever, knowing I was closer my destiny.

I was lying in the ground for so long,
Watching new tears fall,
Tears of disaster, pain, sadness,
As I smile at those who miss me.

I was sitting on a cloud, for so long,
Looking down on those who loved me,
Trying to remember what it was like.
Sitting forever and ever, wishing I was still walking in my puddle.
