You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Dude that's a downer. So sorry about the melencholy mood -- I'd buy you a beer if I were there. Sometimes, though, there's a beauty to bleakness. Just don't give up hope.
Thanks Jack. I will think of you as I crack open my first beer tonight. I think hope is generally what keeps me going. :) One of my favorite lines from the movie: Someone Like You - "Time wounds all heals"
Based on your post, I recommend two poems for your current mood: T.S. Eliot's "East Coker" -- particularly the "I said to my soul be stil. . ." part, and Pablo Neruda's "Tonight I can write". They're both downers, but capture the "beauty of bleakness" for me.
This song is a great one! And does really reach you when you are down. Hope springs eternal... I hope you keep up your hopes and try not to get to down. People are here for you as you know!
Thanks Kewl. :) Hope is a good thing. Jack, I read the poems and they were both pretty powerful. Somehow they gave me a good feeling. Thanks again.
