The girl you used to be

All my world is black
There's nothing I can do
To bring you back

We used to dream
Of endless time spent
Together forever

When the sun
Still burned bright
In the infinite sky

The hours were ours
To waste at our laughable
Flippant indiscretions

Not knowing
Or caring
What the world had in store

Time was never acknowledged
Cared for
Or savored in our naivete

Then something changed
You weren't the girl
That you used to be

Now forever later
A lifetime lived
In regret and denial

You are gone
And I live with
The eternal haunting

Of your ghost
Forever breaking my spirit
And my heart
