The Glass Half Empty

By Ryan Johnston

For SD

Tonight, I said goodbye

To cats, and trees, and seasons

The memories slide from my mind

But you get stuck inside my eyes

Frozen this time, since you went away

I wait up every night, for you to rise and fill the sky

The things we said, and what we almost did

Turn into feelings, forever left unsaid

In time, they will die and fade away

But a piece of you, will always live inside of me

Moving me like the wind

Black cats, and fairy-tales

Dying kingdoms, and flooded ships 

I tried so hard, to keep them all from sinking

But the end of the story, had already been written

Glass slippers, stuck in haunted stairs 

Covered in sheets, like the ghosts we are now

Collecting dust, in this place we used live

To say goodbye, I say that no one else 

Could shape this piece of time 

That was made for us to fit

Or walk in the footsteps,

Of a glass, that only you can fill

Time takes care of everyone

Mending our wounds, helping us forget

A comforting hand, wrapped around your throat

A friendly face, with a knife behind it's back

And as the walls of the kingdom

Fall down, and crumble all around me

Everything is changing, nothing looks the same

She lives inside of me like the quiet

And that part, is only for me
