I close my eyes
To the glistening bright sun
Mind filled with distant memories
Where have they gone?
Sadness fills my heart
But the salt river is dry
Darkness overcomes
I feel I might die
The first tear appears
Running too fast to be caught
It soon fades away and I realize I ought...
Not to be crying
I'll be okay
But it's a battle for bliss
Each and every day
