You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
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
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
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
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
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
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
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,
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
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
There once was a man from Frederi… Who lost sight of his worth and me… But along she came, Then left just the same, And now his heart feels asymmetric…
When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still
You were the light of my life So tell me why You decided to burn it to cinders And leave me in darkness
People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
