You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
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
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
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
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?
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
Hello my Darling, how are you? How was your day? What can I do? Hello my Love,
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
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
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
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
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…
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
