You grope for the switch to turn the lights off.
Lighting a match, you pull the shades lower.
It's nearly impossible to light up a clove,
A constant draft reaches you from the corner.

As you ash your cigarette into a plastic cup,
You reflect on the past, doleful and moody,
And all that remains from the day is a ticket stub
From the theater you left half-way into the movie.

It's easier to cry in the darkness seeing that it's a tired movie anyway.

This pretty much sums up my melancholy mood tonight. waaa waaaa waaaa!!!

Not the most memorable day, heh?
Doleful...an apropos word.
