Dark new day

At dawn I feared to open my eyes;

Hoping that last night had only been a dream,

That the pain I felt would leave I rose,

That every single teardrop had never fallen.



As I slowly opened my eyes,

I knew my wish hadn’t been granted.

There was no dream;

Only my own bitter reality!



I slowly wandered through the house;

Mourning every broken dream.

Letting my tears fall as I made my way from room to room.

Can I ever look at this house the same again?



A dream, it had not been.

My eyes are width open.

Sadly, I recall everything now.

Trying to make my thoughts wander.



My head is hurting and I long to rest.

I’m still in disbelieve and try to forget.

If only I could block out my minds' chaos;

The emptiness won’t let me!



The darkness of last night may have faded,

But the darkness of this day has only begun.

It's a dark new day in the story of my life.

One I don't want to relive again.

The poem has nothing to do with the band. I've never even heard their music.
