midnight I tried a more lyrical approach this time :> ------------ The clock strikes midnight, a hopeful endeavor, I’m still waiting here, where you promised forever. Clouds above, stars nowhere to be seen. Are you coming? Do you still care about me? People rush by, hand in hand, Here I wonder, will you ever understand? The yearning I feel as I watch them go by, How lovely it must feel to be by someone’s side. The clock strikes midnight, a fruitless endeavor, Maybe I was never worth a forever. Drop by drop, the rain begins to fall, Maybe just maybe you’ll give me a call. The streets begin to blur, or maybe I’m crying. I didn’t want to believe that you might be lying. Promises whispered underneath the oak, Should’ve known that to you it was all just a joke. The clock strikes midnight, forever slipping away, Shadows of your promise still haunt me to this day. Why can’t I let go of a past that only makes me bleed? Love is just a hunger, but it never learned to feed. I see you in the pictures that I can’t delete. I should’ve seen it then; the future was always bleak. Your smile never quite reached your eyes, Mine were bursting, mine were alive. The clock strikes midnight, but why am I still here? Waiting for a future that’ll never be clear, Was I just a way to cope from a love you once knew? Because no matter what, I’ll never be her to you. The clock strikes midnight, the silence fills the air, I waited for forever, but forever isn’t there. The stars remain hidden, the night holds its breath, Midnight is the witness to love’s quiet death. ----------- I'm quite proud with this one, but lemme know what you think :D
