When
When you receive a compliment from a stranger,
A stranger who's only known you for a day.
That is when you know the only one,
You have ever loved,
Has no feelings for you,
That you have hurt him so much,
So much that he can't feel.
He can't feel anything.
Can't compliment you.
That's when you know how bad life is.
When you guilt is so bad.
You don't know who you are.
You don't know your beliefs.
When all your morals are gone.
When you don't know how to feel,
When you don't know who to belive.
When everything you have ever known is gone.
You feel your life is changing,
Or has it changed already?
That is the answer you don't know.
You don't know anything anymore.
At least you don't feel like you do.
When there is no hope on the horizon
No hope for life to get any better.
