Blue Without You (Song)

By Athena Stairs, August 8, 2023

Now that the time has gone
Where we could sing along

A moment here or there
Cannot seem to compare

The sparks of happiness
For potential manifest

I once felt when thought
Of such joy love bought

Now that the rains will come
Once heat of summer’s done

When I would turn to you
Nothing’s left for me to do

I once found a place for us
That was built on a rock of trust

But when you turned away
I was left with nothing to say

How I wish there was more we could share
But I’ve turned and looked everywhere

When someone admired astrays
There’s only night left to the days

So I make the best that I can
Of what’s left that I understand

But I can’t seem to replace
Precious smiles or hope of embrace

I can’t seem to understand
Why a lover gone once a friend

Can change his mind like a switch
Throwing what is rare in a ditch

Maybe I’m just built as of old
Unlike now where most do what’s told

Its a state of confusion confessed
When facing the void of a mess

There’s no one to ask it seems
How to reclaim once broken dreams

No one wants to work and repair
What is broken and then laid bare

It’s a sad turn of such events
When once born I’m sure we’re meant

To achieve a higher plane
Rather than indulge what’s insane
