You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
If you told me To lay down my arms I would raise my shields Yet I surrender If you warned me
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…
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…
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
I cut this final cord. So why do I still feel bound? Oh, another cord.
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
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
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’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
I mourn not for what we had, I mourn for a future lost. A foundation laid of promises, Promises that now seem so easily b… I cry not for this loneliness,
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
