From A Day To A Few
after a day of heartbreak
proving her love regardless
she knows her heart weak
and all only for him
but it happens again
and instead of shedding a tear
she draws strength from the pain
and hides her fear
as times passes
stronger she grows
closing her heart
not letting her emotions show
days turn into nights
Artemis guiding her dreams
nights fades into days
Apollo hiding her screams
then out of the blue
he calls her name
as if nothing has changed
she smiles her smile all the same
deep down
in her now cold heart
she silently prays
for the end to start
he speaks of nothing
it shatters her heart
he is her everything
but her world's torn apart
Goodbye, seems to be
the only thing that feels right
it's time to step out of his darkness
and into the light
