It would be easier If I could hate you If you had so utterly decimated me That I couldn’t stand again It would be easier
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
I wish that these words No longer reflect my pain But my devotion
The World ended, not with a bang, but with a sniffle. a tear. a cracked voice. First came the Horseman of Silenc…
Do not assume these words of hurt Are directed at you I have bared to you my heart and s… Yet our words remained withheld Do not assume these words of pain
Because you brighten my day Even when the sun’s shining When I’m feeling down & fret You’re my silver lining Your warmth is like a buffet
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
It’s not the familiarity It’s not the loneliness It’s not the memories It’s not the safety It’s not the comfortability
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
My vision clouds with these tears Tears made from our memories Maybe one day the they will stop Or I won’t feel them anymore
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
I want to walk away I want this hope to stay I’m twisted and torn My promise, I’m sworn To see you again someday
Rest your head on my shoulder When you’re feeling tired Let me sing of your praises When you need to be inspired Bend my ear to your lips
