Doesn’t matter anyways
Those forgotten yesterdays
Of my youth never leaving
I guess I would be grieving
But if only they were gone
They just keep rolling on

They just keep rolling on
Certain as the same old dawn
That never wants to give away
The secrets of the coming day

There's no need to leave my bed
A better world in my head
Dreaming I was never born
Waking to another morn-ing
AGAIN
Another day for to sin
Another day to think of you
Guess there's nothing else to do

Silent vigil on the shelf
Time falls back into itself
Shadows stretch into the gloom
The coldest hell is in my room
The devil loves to let alone
As I sit and watch the phone
Insane to think you might call
The clock laughs twice on the wall

All I've had been torn apart
And though I know it won't start
I wander out into my car
Doesn’t matter wasn't far
In a daze I hear it ring
Empty words swear anything
Just to hear it one time more
As I fall into the door

Should've known- a dial tone
Thoughts of evil all my own
Go flowing through the darkness
Of my one room apartment

As I'm sitting here alone
Minus one useless phone
That I lunged through the window
Maybe I'll be the next to go
Where no words are spoken
Shattered glass spirit broken
And I will find you there
Is here and everywhere

I relate well to this entire poem walt. I really like the lines "the coldest hell is my own room" and "the clock laughs twice on the wall". Almost as if Time is mocking you in your despair. Nice allusion.
