Depressing Quotes

I Gave Her the Sun

I broke off a piece
of the heart she once sold me
She shrugged her shoulders
took it then told me,
"It looks uneven, and a little bit rough
……but I guess it real enough."

I showed her a sky
where our stars once bled
she closed her eyes
smiled then said,
"it looks a bit distant
and a little too bright
……but I guess it's real tonight."

I gaver her the Sun
and all the light I could bring
she looked up in my eyes
but didn't say a thing
In silence
the world began to unwind
……so maybe it's real
maybe this time
