My Darkest Hour

Gary Jules said its a mad world and as i listened to the song i remembered my darkest hour of last year. Its interesting how songs tap into our own emotional worlds and bring out feelings we buried long ago. It's just like when you look at an old photograph of you and an ex partner; sometimes certain memories and feelings come flooding back and Its not that you want it once more, but you remember that time in your life.


My Darkest Hour
Copyright Jodie Stewart 2010

In my darkest hour you weren't there,
there i sat across the room, you stared
helpless, selfless i gave my plea
catatonic, you simply let me be.

what of empathy? did this pass your mind
skewed perceptions and ignorance is bliss?
constricted, i was trapped and alone
with you my hand you did not kiss.

Ruined by a childish demeanor
a longing, down the hall i called
There i was, scared, alone
tranquilized by a lady in white, did you see her?

In my darkest hour you weren't there,
there i laid on the bed and stared,
the ceiling crashed down over me
selfless, you simply let me be.

what of the love, i shared with you,
how could you be so unkind?
put simply, this song has been un-sung to you
like a bird i'm free to shine.

a light flashed before my eyes,
a voice said 'don't leave me.'
the only thing that remains is change
this song has found a new key.
