When You Loved Me

When you loved me it was heaven
When you loved me the sun shone bright and the rivers ran clear
The skies were cloudless and beautiful
The world was safe…
…But that’s over now
Down here it is hell
The sun never shines and the waters hold only mud and disease
Fiery flames lick the sidewalk
And burn the houses
The blackness in the skies is suffocating
The world is a disaster zone from which I cannot escape
Where people die alone and afraid
But guess what?
This is real life
