Left Without Light

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
Where are you to add color to a life so gray?
A life so stressed, so depressed, and yet why I still pray?
These birds of joy have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
Why do you leave me to the night which I fall prey?
Why is it you will not assist me through my fray?
These birds of help have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
From this world so vile, when may I fly away?
Why have I been shot like another mockingjay?
These birds of hope have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
Why does it feel like my existence you've betray?
Have I not utterly trusted you all the way?
These birds of righteousness have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
When will you respond or even come out and play?
Will you come visit my home and actually stay?
The birds of relation have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
All these years, they've gone to waste… how can you repay?
When will you answer my pleas? Why do you delay?
These birds of trust have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
Why do you hide your reluctant yet radiant rays?
To bask in it, will there be a time when I may?
These birds of reality have departed…

Tell me, why does the sun only shine half the day?
Why is my life in dismay, in such disarray?
Will I ever be freed from a life so cliché?
These birds of meaning have departed…

TELL ME, WHY DOES THE SUN ONLY SHINE HALF THE DAY?
WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME TO BE ABANDONED HALF-WAY?
WHY HAS THIS HEART BEEN SEVERED AND LEFT FOR DISPLAY?
AND MY LIFE IS NO MORE!
