Still Away

Everything has just gone
down the gutter down the drain
leaving my heart broken
you left a stain

It was like you kept the peace
to this ungrateful world
with a mere snap of your fingers
or the way your dress twirled

It kept this world calm
it kept me reassured
that everything would be alright
that my own sickness would be cured

In the meantime
I was just like all the rest
selfish and weak
just a mere pest

And now that you're gone
nobody cares to listen
everything hurts
even though I'm still a Christian

Just a little more truth to how I feel about the matter. It takes time I suppose, I'm just not at the point where I can say "it took time" yet.
