When World's Collide

A long time since anything felt good,

even when I knew it really should.

No feelings of joy, happiness, or excited surprise,

and no pleasure from the warmth of bright sunny skies.

Sparkles disappeared long ago from the stars,

leaving my night's peace coming from just whiskey and bars.

I cry deep down inside,

feeling like a child running away to hide.

All that ever felt good so long ago is gone

and suddenly everything in the world feels wrong.

It wasn't always this way

and over how it happened I held no say.

I remember when,

now just wishing that it could be that way again,

and I embrace that familiar pain,

just to try and keep me from going insane.

Pulled myself together,

the misery I decided to just weather.

Lord knows of my surprise

on that day I caught your eyes.

At that moment, we were frozen in time,

and I knew my heart was no longer mine.

At that moment you said your name

I knew nothing would ever again be the same.

When our eyes met life's cloudiness left with the rain

as new love came along to wash away the loneliness and pain.
