What have the sunflowers lost?
Look at them all, heads bent down heavy,
anxiously, earnestly searching the ground.
Or maybe they hear Persephone
raped and tattered and scared
crying down there for her mother.
There’s nothing they can do.
Swallows are lined up on the wire now:
black beads on a string
Once more I’m getting fat
like I was after the baby was born
but now I don’t have that excuse.
I’ll never have that excuse again.
We drove along roads that had been closed,
gravel thick along the shoulders.
New channels carved in the river.
That song comes on again.
That song I've been avoiding.
That song I've banished to the bottom of my playlist,
Hoping I'd never listen as far as that.
That song talks to me.
That song makes me 17 years old again,
Bringing back the memories of who I was then
That song makes me quiver
And shiver to my bones.
Icy hands reaching in through my ears,
clawing at the back of my neck,
holding onto my spine,
pressing down on my lungs,
gripping my heart,
And somewhere deep down underneath
my soul is hiding, trembling
Today I saw you
With a smile on you face
With happiness in your eyes
With love in your heart
I lost my hope of happiness
One day you'll find someone else,
Someone who will be better in all ways,
And love you more.
I will be a memory of once that was good.
All of the promises we made,
Will be of our past.
I will still wait,
Because to me you were my light.
A treasure that I've hidden only for my heart.
And for many passing years you'll
Forget me slowly.
I'll continue to wait,
With only memories of what we've had.
And with time, love will eventually fade
From my yearning heart.
I hold on to every moment I had with you smiling at the thoughts of your words "I love you"
Yet not knowing that it was not true
heart break isn't just about love
heart break is family
heart break is friends
heart break is humiliation
heart break is more than just love its everything that comes with it.
if i did something differently
would she still have done it
take all those pills
to numb her pain
if i was there for her
like i promised
would she be happy today.
i don't know.
maybe if i stayed you would eventually run away
maybe if i left you would let me go
cause you are tired of all the games i play
but i ask for you to play along
i believe your heart will eventually learn
that i might be the one
love is not meant to be forced
but if i have to leave
then remember this
your soul was never easy to touch
your heart was never a game to play
your smile brought chills to winter
but your love was warm
like a burning fire
my love i shall leave knowing
that you will be happy on your own
really wanted to type 'i miss you' but its not my place anymore you're missing someone else now
you were there on the good days
you were there on the bad daysyou were there to make me laugh
you were there to make me crynow you are just someone who was there.
i love him immensely but he thought i am too young and naive to think like that...it was his fault he made me fall for him, so damn hard...i thought i was fighting for love but he was fighting for friendship.
he promised me forever
he promised me he was going to catch me
he promised me love
and i fell for it,i wanted him to be everything he wants to be and happy so i let him go for real this time...
he looked at me from a distance
i didn't really notice
but i could feel his gaze
he walked away
i let him
when he came back
i was already lost
in someone else
it wasn't fair
but im tired of this
something that was too good to be true
something that gave me life
but left me lifeless
so now his gone again
but this time for good.
