Didn't there used to be stars?
You walked into the room today,
Almost as if you were seeking me out.
But you didn't speak and didn't look;
So I decided it was all in my head.
I consoled myself with the thought
That it just might have been about me.
I ate lunch with my friends.
We joke and laughed and talked.
I played my part with style,
Pulling off happy without a thought.
In this way I could pretend
That what I did was important.
And I can't breathe,
And I can't take it anymore.
It's too dark to see,
Didn't there used to stars?
My favorite song came on the radio,
And I started to sing along.
I tried not to choke on the tears,
That had been held inside for so long.
I didn't know I was so alone.
What did I have to complain about?80
