You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
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
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
In the depths of heartbreak’s icy… Where tears flow freely, leaving t… A soul finds solace in longing’s b… Aching for a love it hopes to rega… The echoes of laughter, once share…
What I mistook for your warmth I now realize was actually a freez… You found me, built me up Then destroyed me You claim to care about me
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
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
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
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
The longer I wait for you The more I prolong this pain The longer you wait to speak The more distant I become The more I heal
