Such a Lonely Day
By Quade Varga
The school year’s great I made many new friends
My classes are fun and nothing need bend
To match a life which I think I should need
Because the life that I was given I am more than just sweet
I found a nice girl whom I dare not relay
For my cowardice feelings kept me at bay
It seems unlikely that settling down will do
So I move on my day and prepare for the new
Time goes on and it seems all sweet
But a fateful call one day left me to weep
A first of few, but the last? Maybe.
For my Grandma's ship sank in a cancerous sea
Drowning in turmoil I don’t know if I can rest
This year was supposed to be great, this year was the best
Days go by as sorrow goes forth
I recollect my thoughts and ask what its worth
To live in sadness is something no one should do
So I realize my actions and live life anew
Just when I see the hells have settled
An old friend comes and stirs back the kettle
A storm of goodbyes as I cannot retain
A group of friends from my childhood I sustained
Because of her I lost more
Than a few good friends from a long lost lore
Plastered with sadness, can this year go worse?
Things blow over as the witch lifts her curse
With such sorrow can I know glee?
“Of course I can!” I tell myself, glad I shall be!
I ignore the pain and live life again
I tell my friends I’m sorry, but it just had to end
Happy again I muster the strength
To return to that girl and take the length
The final word, the step to make
I ask her politely “How about a date?”
She obliges and I cannot believe
How much this year has made me grieve
But a single sentence, a mutter, a word
Gave me the courage to fly with the birds
High into the sky where I am now happy again
This year is getting better I can feel it come to fin
With a happy ending, the boy and the girl
But it seems all too easy in this horrible world
Of course what heals can always smash
My heart she stole and took it alas
What happens now? Is it possible?
To regain his happiness, this sorrow stricken apostle
As the world crashed down around his feet
He stood strong and looked to greet
The next day, a new day, a day full of life
Maybe that day will come where things go right
But that’s not possible
Cry to yourself
Goodnight
