You are my first thought in the morning and last throughout my sleepless nights.
With words left unspoken These promises broken Are washed away by These emotions awoken Forgive the sinner
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
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,

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
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
Most people drain me But you are not most people You recharge my soul
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
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?
As I step forward I look back for one last time I wish you all the best
You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
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…
