Down the painted streets
To the coffee shop where I would weep
Today’s special is nutmeg coffee
Didn't sound as good as the toffee
I drink coffee slow
Hoping the barista does not know
You can see the light on her face dim
As the whole room seem grim
She turns to me
I know what she is about to say before her words unfree
She's all anyone ever talked about now
She was just a person to them
But she's someone I would see again and again
The memories to unfold
Many family stories left untold
I stop caring what they say
It's time to continue on with my day
Through the empty halls
Somewhere where I could ignore it all
A peach and quiet space
Somewhere with no haste
Im sure youre gates
Letting the angels lead the way
I hear the clock
Repetitive tick tock
I grip my toes to my socks
I rustle my fingers through the bottom of my top
All that's left in my stomach is knots
Once I am out of that class
I look down at the green grass
It looks like where those easter eggs used to lay
When I spent easter at your house that rainy day
You drove us through fog
Just for some sundaes and hotdogs
We laughed as I spilled fudge on my shirt
Never knew a memory like this could hurt
School is over now
The day flew by somehow
I look up in the clouds
Ignoring the big crowds
As I make my way through the town
Plastered across my face is a frown
I'm off to the same place
Leaving this town without a trace
I know this won't be a mistake
After all its for my sake
The sunset paints the sky
This still doesn't explain the reason why
I feel my pain intensify
As each step goes by
I fall with the ground all muddy
Leaving the palms of my hands bloody
I tear falls from my eye
As a remember you last goodbye
I find myself here at the end of the day
Feeling lots of dismay
I stand here over your grave
Oh how you had been so brave
