i was awake to watch the sunrise
i saw its brilliant colours
shine upon my broken body
my tired eyes reflected its fleeting glory
as the pinks and oranges faded
a wave of pain hit me
the cuts split open and i realised
this sunrise was not for me
i did not want for the hope it brung
i did not need the joy the birds sung
i was too far gone
i was awake to watch the sunrise
and i wish i could have appreciated more
but nothing lasts forever
and i couldnt ever really
see it at all.
