I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
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
There once was a man from Frederi… Who lost sight of his worth and me… But along she came, Then left just the same, And now his heart feels asymmetric…
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
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
This bed is too big I have too much space These blankets are too much Engulfing me, but I still shiver I have too much food
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
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
The only fitting punishment The Gods could conspire To make us pay for our transgressions against the… You stole the stars from their sky
Hello my Darling, how are you? How was your day?
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
