When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
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
If you told me To lay down my arms I would raise my shields Yet I surrender If you warned me
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…
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,
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
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
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
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
Help me to understand it Help open up my eyes I’m trying to move past it But I can’t seem to see why When we’re together
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
The only fitting punishment The Gods could conspire To make us pay for our transgressions against the… You stole the stars from their sky
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
