You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
I wish that these words No longer reflect my pain But my devotion

My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
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…
What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still
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
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
