Elegy

Why do I weep needlessly?
Perhaps I should end it all,
I still remember your smile
but now my heart lies dead and cold.

I know I'll have to live on
bearing all this misery and guilt.
Why do I sleep my days away?
Perhaps it should have been me.

Dreaming of you brings me closer to you,
the memories we shared slowly heal me,
soothing the hurt and tears away,
perhaps at night I can meet you again.

In my self-conceit I still love you.
I feel your absence wearing on these walls,
as time passes, I'll fade out with you,
fade with the regret, the love, the memories,
hanging on to you until we meet again.
