You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
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,
Were your reasons true? Were they for me or for you? Was there really nothing we could… I wonder. Why was it easier to hide?
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
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
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
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
What I mistook for your warmth I now realize was actually a freez… You found me, built me up Then destroyed me You claim to care about me
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both
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…
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
