Jay by Alistair Chong

on a saturday morning
the sun shines through the glass
lightly on my desk it's falling
outside, the world is rushing past

and to the sun
who is the only one
who warms my day

to her i sing

today i want to end it all
i've given up for the while
nothingness of hope is my fall
all i've done has become so futile
i tried, i tried so hard
for it all to turn away
it hurts too much to go on

on a saturday morning
jay sings my comfort, so bittersweet
lost from reach without a warning
flies away, my time with her so fleeting

and to the jay
who was my day
becomes my nightmare

to her i whisper

today i want to end it all
i've given up for the while
nothingness of hope is my fall
all i've done has become so futile
i tried, i tried so hard
for it all to turn away
it hurts too much to go on
