A Year Ago Today

It’s hard to keep going
To keep moving along
When almost everything and everyone
You ever cared about is gone

 

Time comes for us all
But it won’t happen today
We fool ourselves believing
It can’t go that way

 

But it can and it does
Reality has the final say
Because it hurts as bad
As it did a year ago today

 

You left this world behind
A year ago today
All this pain has left me blind as
A year ago today
My soul was crushed heart was broke
A year ago today
I wish I’d died along with you
A year ago today

 

You and me against the world
Was how it always went
You were always there for me
When my mind and heart were spent

 

We think we have forever
That there will always be more time
But the reaper comes unbidden
And laughs at those left behind

 

But fate is cold and cruel
As it marches on its way
As it took you without a care
A year ago today

 

You left this world behind
A year ago today
All this pain has left me blind as
A year ago today
My soul was crushed heart was broke
A year ago today
I wish I’d died along with you
A year ago today

Everything you've posted is excellent. Your style for some reason has a familiar ring to it. Lol
If you have music for any of the lyrics please share them with us in the open mic forum.
I'm interested to hear them set to music.  This particular lyric packs a powerful emotional punch. It's raw but that's a good thing.

Peace

Actually, one of my hopes is to find a collaborator

I'm sorry for your loss.  Your lyric reminded me of my own father's passing several years ago.
I'm sure this lyric and the others can find an audience. I think people will be able to relate.  : )

Look forward to seeing more of your lyrics.

Five down (last two written for submission here, BTW) at least a couple hundred to go
