June 14th, 2023 Am I grasping at straws I've placed myself?
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
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…
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
If you told me To lay down my arms I would raise my shields Yet I surrender If you warned 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
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
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
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
One day I hope your love Will reunite with mine Or so I tell myself because It won’t
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
Adrift in the abyss Dappled with distant lights Imagination connects the dots To make sense of this predicament I was anchored on the satellite
I want to walk away I want this hope to stay I’m twisted and torn My promise, I’m sworn To see you again someday
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
