put it on the saddest guitar string
sang it to the saddest tune
played it to the saddest crowd
it begins 'you are the sun'
and it ends 'you were the sun'
so many years into five verses
only highlighted by the choruses
silence comes somewhere when words fail
i continue with the chords with all my will
clenching my eyes forever together
i see you, and wish i was still there
'i am everything with you'
'i am nothing without you'
'yesterday was hard'
'today is even harder'
today i wrote the saddest lyric
put it to the saddest guitar string
sang it to the saddest tune
played it to the saddest crowd
its titled, 'saddest song'
the one i wrote for you
in the darkest of black ink
for only my lungs to sing
you were supposed to hear it
but you will not hear this lyric
'with you im here'
'without you i'm gone'
please come and erase these words
i want to play again of your love
