You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
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
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both

With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
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
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…
Rest your head on my shoulder When you’re feeling tired Let me sing of your praises When you need to be inspired Bend my ear to your lips
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
I see you Stars have gone from your eyes int… The warmth of the sun feels so fam… In the drops of rain I can hear y… Letting my tears blend with each d…
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
