EMPTY
Empty.
Isn't that crazy?
Only yesterday, I felt loved, loving, lovable.
Only yesterday, the heavens parted,
separated two kingdoms of white feathery clouds
and rolled a blue carpet in the middle
with the glowing sun as a candle
as if to announce my arrival,
my entrance to whichever castle I choose.
And for a moment there, I was lost
for I could not possibly be in just one castle
I wanted both, I wanted all
Would you call it greed?
Would you call it a sin?
For wanting much too much
this little world can bring
a little happiness, a little caring
a heap of loving, forgiving, and forgetting
a bunch of dancing, and laughing and kissing
and a picture to seal the memories
a picture I will keep until my dying
So what was it -- fate?
Or do I simply lack the faith?
Are the gods angry
but why particularly at poor old me
Am I that important
that my life should be
of a particular interest
to the gods I made angry
I lost the castles, my life is empty
and here I am struggling to see
the relevance of forever
the importance of eternity
if every single day
you should have to start anew
then, why, tell me why
should you keep your yesterday with you
Empty.
That's how I want to start
my every day from now on
Until the heaven once again will open up
and ask me to come home
