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
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
This bed is too big I have too much space These blankets are too much Engulfing me, but I still shiver I have too much food
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
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
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
Are you eating enough? Are you staying hydrated? Are you loving yourself? Or is your breath left bated? Are you sleeping enough?
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
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
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…
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.
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello
