With a soul black as night I stand here wondering why
How everything went wrong in just a lightning fast second
Going from perfect to being shattered
The light from my eyes dimming and the beat of my heart slowing down
It occurs to me that this might have all been prevented
But I let the timeline run its course so now
I alone reap all the pain and consequences at hand
Slowly falling from the joyous platform from which I stood
Down the spiral of depression and disappointment
Now I know why life has such a fragile nature
Ending in the blink of an eye, quicker than a lightning strike
It troubles me
