June 12, 2023 I can wait 1000 lifetimes for you
It’s easy to tell someone, “Just move on”, When you weren’t the one In their shoes. It’s easy to tell someone,
This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave
I want to walk away I want this hope to stay I’m twisted and torn My promise, I’m sworn To see you again someday
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
If you told me To lay down my arms I would raise my shields Yet I surrender If you warned me
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
I cut this final cord. So why do I still feel bound? Oh, another cord.
One day I hope your love Will reunite with mine Or so I tell myself because It won’t
Long-lost souls unite, Tears of joy in heartfelt hugs, Reunion’s embrace.
Are you eating enough? Are you staying hydrated? Are you loving yourself? Or is your breath left bated? Are you sleeping enough?
As the waves crash along the shore Which seems so far away, I ask myself; Why do I swim? Pushed from a ship
I pray you don’t find These words of pain from my heart I’m broken right now
Do not mistake my silence, For absence. I will always be there for you. Always. But I must be here for myself,
Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both
Rain & sun Flowers bloom Spring has sprung Fading the gloom In summers heat
