What Happens Now
You saw me.I was there.Your smile as warm as the day.Yet time seemed to freeze What happens now
You smiled at me.I was thereLike I’d never seen a smile before.I couldn’t see anything elseWhat happens now
You laughed with me,We were thereExploring something new.No thought of anything pastWhat happens now
The Fall came.I didn’t want to seeThe reality was too much to bare.Holding too desperately to summers’ dream What happens now
You comforted me So afraid was I You were too grand a man, I too self-obsessed to see What happens now
Winter was never more cruelA lonely and desolate placeThe playfulness of summer long past I fell into despair
What happens now
You didn’t smileI tried to mend Your heart grew coldSelfish and cruel was I What happens now
Still am I Gone are weWinter has burned my soulNot winter, but me – my spiteful tongueWhat happens now
You were magicI, the curse that chased your love awayKin forever tattooed on my heartI could never forgive myselfWhat happens now
You saw meNo one ever saw meMy tears burn my skinI’m certain I’ll never be seen againSo, what happens now?
