Monotonous Haze

And the sun sets
another day without rest
another night filled with pain
and it all begins again
how long can this go on
another day come and gone

The seconds turn to minutes, to hours, to days
months pass by in a haze
with only my thoughts to keep me company
another day of monotony

Surrounded by people whom I can trust
yet I still feel my heart turned to dust
the oddest things make me recall
things I wish not to remember at all
with my future in front of me, but you in my past
why couldn't our forever last

And so the seconds lead to minutes, to hours, to days
months pass by in a haze
with only my thoughts to keep me company
another day of monotony

Why do I do this to myself
keep my life put away on a high shelf
something to be looked at like a prized object
with me the scrutinizing subject
I need to start living again
my hollow life I need not defend

Why do I allow the seconds to lead to minutes, to hours, to days
my life should not pass by in a haze
others should be my company
never monotony
