When you leave me,
with no sad goodbyes,
when you leave me,
when I see no light in your eyes,
when the sun turns dark,
when the stars forget to shine,
when the snow isn't white,
when the poems forget to rhyme,
when the day becomes night,
when my heart forgets to beat,
when my mouth forgets to laugh,
when my words forget to heat,
when the grass turns brown,
when the birds forget to sing,
when the flowers wilt,
when the bells forget to ring,
when my hand waves,
when I drown in denial,
when the music fades,
when I forget your smile,
when the art isn't a craft,
when we reach the end of the hall,
when they lower you in the ground,
when the sky falls.
