So,
it doesn't matter
how many sad songs I listen to
doesn't matter how long
in to the night I cry
when you're not even here
by my side
can't even breathe
let alone sit still
rocking myself
never felt so good
when your touch
is all I ever longed for
this is gonna have to do.
Real strength
lies in being able to
yield when necessary
whilst staying true
to your core values.
- I'll leave you with that thought. -
i don't wanna be afraid
don't wanna be afraid
of the storms that rage
in me
rage in me
standing on the shore
feet upon the sand
waves poison me
poison me
i don't wanna be the storm
be the storm deep in me
breath be still
succumb to thy will
set my eyes on the horizon
let the wind set me free
let the tide rise up
rise up over me
beneath the depths
let my feet carry me
set me free
set my soul free
One manipulative boy
turns choices
into frustrations
turns moments
into waterfalls
of despair
shredding layers of me
shredding pain from me
from the surface
just the surface
a thin layer of pain
to keep the waves
from enveloping me
I'm a standing here waving
looking at you
in your direction
you can't see me swearing
I'm in pain
even my heart's burning
I'm always in your shadow
never enough to be seen
when your thoughts are on the others
and their problems and their dreams
my eyes are slowly hurting
as i turn to look away
not much left to keep on going
when it's them you seek to prey
left me here beside your shadow
left me out in all the rain
sullen i surrender to my grief
i walk away
