    "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan. A guy is left at the altar, he considers suicide, then his father dies and his mother dies. Brutal. It really grabs me every time I hear it.
    Yep. I posted the lyrics in an earlier post.

    Even though about getting back together still is sad.

    Journey

    Lying beside you
    Here in the dark
    Feeling your heart with mine
    Softly you whisper
    You're so sincere
    How could our love be so blind
    We sailed on together
    We drifted apart
    And here you are
    By my side

    So now I come to you
    With open arms
    Nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    So here I am
    With open arms
    Hoping you'll see
    What your love means to me
    Open arms

    Living without you
    Living alone
    This empty house seems so cold
    Wanting to hold you
    Wanting you near
    How much I wanted you home

    But now that you've come back
    Turned night into day
    I need you to stay

    So now I come to you
    With open arms
    Nothing to hide
    Believe what I say
    So here I am
    With open arms
    Hoping you'll see
    What your love means to me
    Open arms

    I agree. I used to be a good writer before I stopped and I would do poetry readings at this night club for young people I made so many people cry lol with the poetry readings. And then in 8th grade I did a poetry reading to the school and teachers were crying and parents were crying ahahaha i just made everyone cry =/ lol but i love that the emotion got to them.
