Sunlight

I thought the dark of the night would never go away
I thought a new day would be delayed as I stared at the clock
Tick tock, tick tock
A watched pan never boils
A baby-sat clock never ticks
But here it is, morning
Sunlight is pouring through the cracks of my front door
I saw something yesterday and it made me cringe
Though the sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning
It's the morning, where's the joy?
I've been dreading this day, dreading for weeks and months
I put on my clothes blindly, I brush my teeth and my eyes are blood shot
I put on my shoes, wrong foot, Fail
Try again
I walk out the door, the sun is shining in my eyes
I stare at it and get into my car
I turn on the car and back out slowly
I meet my fiancee at the airport, we hug and she cries
The reason she has to leave isn't good enough
The reason she has to say goodbye is understandable but it still hurts
I look at the sun and I'm wondering how it's still shining
I look at my feet and I'm wondering how they can still hold
She's leaving, I'm numb
I drive back and hold my tears until I get home
She's leaving for a week, how can I survive?
