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
I cut this final cord. So why do I still feel bound? Oh, another cord.
To Love is to abandon All rational and logic To act out of character And find depth within yourself To love is to put your wants
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
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
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
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
Help me to understand it Help open up my eyes I’m trying to move past it But I can’t seem to see why When we’re together
