Challenge
January Drabble: "Some would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway" lyrics challenge
Incorporating lyrics from the song, "Far Behind" by Candlebox, tell me a story in exactly 100 words. Stick enough of the lyrics in your drabble to make it obvious you're following the challenge goals, but you don't have to copy/paste big chunks. I'm curious to see what y'all can do with prose on a song lyric challenge; my last lyrical prompt generated some STELLAR stuff. Get after it! Winner selected by me sometime in early Feb, entries need to be written as prose following conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar to be considered eligible for a win or honorable mention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHi8bwGsaKE

Shame you left
I live with what I've known, that it was never me; you left me far behind because you knew you treated me unfairly. I guess you had your reasons, but I wish you could own up to your mistakes; let’s talk about it, share the pain. I could have made my own mistakes, crumble to the ground in defeat, but I would get back up and talk and apologize. Some would say your life was sad, but never me. That cold day when you lost control, I understood but you shut me out of your life. I’ll never understand why.
