As the Clock Chimed Seven
As I sit here
In the cold, dark room
I watch the movie
That I had seen
So many times before
The movie
That I used to love
When we watched it
Together
So long ago
You told me
That you loved me
And we shared
Our first kiss
As the clock chimed seven
I was so happy
For so long
I seemed to live
In my own world
My own little world
With you
Until that night
That one night
When you came over
For a date
A special date
Our year long
Anniversary
We sat on the couch
With your arm
Around my shoulders
And watched the movie
That once happy movie
That I have grown
To hate
You leaned into me
At the very
Same scene
That had experienced
So much happiness
A year before
I thought you were going
To kiss me
But no
Instead
You told me
That it was over
That we were finished
As the clock chimed seven
You then got up
And left me there
You left me sitting there
Not believing what I heard
Thinking it was a mistake
Praying that it was a dream
I can still feel
The ghost of your hand on mine
The shadow of you
Sitting next to me
As I watch
That same movie
With a loneliness
In my soul
With silent tears
Falling down my face
With a large piece
Missing from my heart
As the clock chimed seven
