June 13th, 2023 One can dream
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still
To Love is to abandon All rational and logic To act out of character And find depth within yourself To love is to put your wants
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
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
I cut this final cord. So why do I still feel bound? Oh, another cord.
If you told me To lay down my arms I would raise my shields Yet I surrender If you warned me
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
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 hands grow weaker This hold I will prolong My legs shake and quiver But still I’ll stand strong My mind is chaos
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
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
