You Shot Me Down

A day so true,

I could hear the wind as it blew,

Past me, whistling in my ears,

It’s not about my tears, nor is it about those beers.

A day so weird,

When I asked you, you just sneered,

An answer was what I couldn’t get,

Our future was something on which I wouldn’t bet.

Hand in hand we had walked,

All night long we had talked,

Our words melted into nothingness,

It caused me trouble, a lot of stress.

The days lengthened, the nights so long,

All I heard was the phoenix’s song,

The sorrow swept me off my legs,

But the pain didn’t drown in all of those pegs.

Bottles empty, I looked for some more,

Then I fell down and began to snore,

A nap it wasn’t, blackout it was,

You weren’t the answer, you were the cause.

A void so huge, the darkness undefined,

You ruined the image of life; it ceased to be refined,

The dreams all stopped, and the thoughts all died,

I knew I had to take cover, I knew I had to hide.

I watched you go far far away,

You just had gone, another trouble at bay,

I had been played, made to look like a clown,

I just laughed at myself; baby, as you shot me down.
