June 14th, 2023 Am I grasping at straws I've placed myself?
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still
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
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
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,
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…
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
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
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
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?
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
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
It would be easier If I could hate you If you had so utterly decimated me That I couldn’t stand again It would be easier
