Nothing

Things between Champ and I quickly headed downhill after the first month ; we started arguing, and days would go by when we didn't speak to one another. Month four proved to be too much with school coming to a close, so I broke things off with him and started the summer refreshed.


Nothing

Day after day
we go through the motions
the same kiss goodbyes
the same spoken farewells

Night after night
I look for a meaning
behind my kiss goodbye
behind my spoken farewell

Nothing's like it was
Nothing's like it seems
sincerity no more than
shadows of the past

Day after day
we follow our routine
the same worn out questions
the same used up conversations

Night after night
I yearn for change
desperate for answers
desperate for peace of mind

Nothing's as it should
Nothing's as I want
dreams meaning more than
realities of this 'romance'

Day after day
we fight our trivial battles
the same unsolved problems
the same tense silences

Night after night
I long for a reprieve
the final argument
the final goodbye

Nothing's what we are
Nothing's what we'll be
our future no more than
ashes in the wind

Nothing is all we are
Nothing is all we'll be
