 Drown out hunger with stale red wine on a Monday night;
Time has no meaning when all meaning was buried with her
On that day no one had the courage to talk about, but alas,
Here I am, singing and reciting her obituary like
My bones were modeled from such disaster;
Like the pain made a throne for hope to sit,
Like I did not search for her spark in every elderly persons eyes
I've ever came across;
Like looking for a needle amidst a hay stack,
Like searching for someone who had mirror eyes
To reflect back my own gaping hole of resistance;
A refusal so strong it broke my bones at every dusk
And rose to mend them at every dawn,




I sing for every inch of sorrow she felt
Moments before her head met stone 
In a silent agreement of the end




I look for her in every mother, in every sad story I've ever heard,
In every bottom of a bottle; In every faint smile from a strangers lips



I look for her in every sunrise, And every time the sun sets

Reminds me of another day recklessly spent

Searching for someone I will never

See again
