What Was Left Behind...

I remember it like it was yesterday

      The rain pounded on my window sill and begged for me to come outside

I stayed inside and did what I do best--

And I kept saying to myself, it was only a test

I can't try to deny what happened that day as I saw her get into her car and drive away

I'm the one that heard say she never believed in 'Goodbye'

But I knew what she was saying when she looked at me with those tears in her eyes

...And if I keep blinking back to the past, how can I move forward?

They tell me there's hope and a future if I put my best foot toward...the right direction

No, those people who stand and whisper in my ear with their small minded words and their false optimism will never be able to feel the pain I felt--

I can still hear the sobs and the screams that she left...

Because I remember like it was yesterday

And the sad part is...it was only a year ago today
