Of All Things Golden

Tell me this. Of all things golden
This always seems to occur.
From one to the other, why can’t I just be happy?

There’s always some turmoil inside my heart.
I can’t seem to figure it all out
It’s something I just can’t seem to grasp.

She came and she went, a few years passed together
Disappeared she did, without a trace.
Now she haunts me, to my worst fear.

A love so great, to be pledged amongst each other
To turn around and see things fall over.
I just can’t bear to look.

What has she done? What have I done?
I look back, confused as all hell. Am I cursed?
The paleness to her skin, her beauty remains.

The tears surround, the sobs abound. Trapped.
So young, so innocent. It couldn’t be helped.
To this end, I surrender my soul for her to beckon.

I cannot live without, yet I cannot sacrifice my life.
To justify what lies before me, I approach in strife.
Those flowers upon her breast, the pain swells.

Collapsing upon the knees, she disappears from view.
I can’t bear to look, no more I scream!
After all of this, I can no longer breathe. The darkness swells.

Gasping for air that will not come, they all stand about.
Disbelief surrounds. The darkness engulfs the light.
Tonight they cry. Tomorrow they will do the same for me.
