A Day

Today was just a day

Just normal and typical

With everything okay

And perfectly natural

I started the day hoping

Praying I'd hear from you

But there's no point looking

I just had nothing to do

I went about my routine

Not thinking about why

Your life is so perfectly clean

And mine makes me cry

The sun came out of bed

And at night the same one set

Tinting the sky blood red

You saw it too, I bet

Was your day the same?

As everyone past?

Did you move without shame?

From the first light to the last?

And suddenly, with the night

My tears came down my face

Without you there was no light

To guide me to my place

And yet the clouds cleared

With only a hint of grimness

And just as I had feared

I went about my business

Today was just a day

Just normal and typical

With everything okay

And perfectly natural
