Wide Open Coffin

The sun’s rays came through the window
Another morning has arrived
Another long and dark lonely night
Through the sorrow and lonesome I survived

As I do every morning like the tick of a clock
I look over to your side, --you’re not there
My heart stings with your absence
As I take a deep breath and exhale despair

The bed seems so huge without you
The only thing crowed here are my thoughts
A place where lovers make love
Has become nothing more than a funeral plot

Looking back towards the window
Hoping for the bright sun to blind me
So that all I can do is feel its warmth
Maybe for a moment I could escape reality

Yet it would be your touch that warms
And your beauty that blinds
Lying naked both body and soul
Under thick sheets intertwined

I am trapped within these days
Every one guaranteed to come again
I’ve come to accept what it is
As if it’s my own unique trend

The courage to move on
To get out of this wide open coffin
Never seems to come
Yet the misery does, --and often

I hold out with slim hope
That tomorrow will be different
That you’ll be wrapped in my arms
Where the warmth we feel will be pleasant

Another breath of despair
For truth knocks hope down
And everything is as it was
The life I wish for, -- cannot be found

That is because my heart is yours
Meant to live in your serenity and bliss
My heart is yours, --and yours only
Yet my love, --you don’t even exist.
