DecemberNights

He staggers down the street
while the snow is falling down.
December nights throw bitter thoughts in his mind.
He looks aorund wildy for the place where they met.
A year ago when everyhting was in it's place.

He steps back in time
to that day in September.
He had worked all day long
at the shop down the street.
She came in at noon.
She was blasting her headphones,
looking at records and humming their beats.
One day is all it took
for him to fall for the bait.
Talking for hours on cold autumn days.
She was the only thing that kept him safe
from his stupid thoughts
and his silly mistakes.

What was the point of it all?
He broke her heart
when he let her fall.
Should have bit his tongue
when she said the first hello.
Breaking him down,
words that cut like knives dig into his soul
when he sees tears are flooding her eyes.
He hates to see her cry.

He woke up Sunday morning
to a ringing in his head.
Outside the rain was pouring
dropping hale on the windowpane.
Thinking back to last night,
a new list of regrets.
Remembering the way they came to a bitter end.

He ran out the door
with her heart in his hands.
Her ring on a chain
pounding against his chest.
Jogging the path that led to her porch,
he silently reads the letter
that was taped to the door.
One day is all it took
for him to fall for her smile.
How she let her guard down when he was around.
She gave him her trust
and he ripped her apart.
Dragging her out of what she thought was love.

What was the point of it all?
He broke her heart
when he let her fall.
Should have bit his tongue
when she said the first hello.
Breaking him down,
words that cut like knives dig into his soul
when he sees tears are flooding her eyes.
He hates to see her cry.

She moved away without a single goodbye.
told him not to hold his breath
till she comes back.
All he has are the memories.
Sweet dreams from the past
that he's showing me.
