Just something about the one I love |
"Where to Begin" Where to begin Where do I start I have been a captive since the day we were set apart Held at your mercy At your beck and call Flying me straight towards the heavens But then, Allowing me to fall The promises that went unkept The endless nights in which I wept The emptiness that infiltrated my soul and left me at a loss A loss that I can not come back from A loss that grows with each passing day Praying for the words that I hope to hear you say Not that you’re sorry Not that you were so wrong But that the love was there in your heart, All along Guiding you and making you strong That the glass was not half empty, but half full That the distance made you see that you were a fool A fool that left behind everything you claimed was dear That the mistakes you made have allowed you to now see clear To all that there was, All that there is And all that there can be But that is marred by thoughtless actions Careless words drip from your lips, Like salt that rushes over a raw wound A wound that is my heart A heart that was blackened and quite near death A heart that you brought back to life Brought back by your very breath Your smile, your touch, the things that are you Are what I have held and what has brought me through Through the misery and the strife Through my existence which I can barely call a life I can cry I can scream I can feel my heart break time and time again When will it ever end? When will it be enough Will it be when I am beaten down and a shell of who I once was? Will it be when I have one foot in the grave? Or will it be when we can still make it right And keep the promises and forever wipe away the tears and the long lonely nights Or shall we stay on this destructive path A path in which no one wins We both lose Lose all the good that there was to be had All the happiness desecrated by the bad The love, the faith, the bond that has been tied so tight Watching it all fade away Fade away into the night For if that is what you wish Let those words now leave your lips Whisper in my ear, That you no longer hold me dear Look in my eyes And tell me that it no longer hurts you to see me cry That you want me on my way That when I leave, to you it will be just another day A day that goes on in which you feel no remorse A day you turn your back on me On us And set out upon a new course For if that happens I shall hang my head in shame And not let you see the disappointment in my heart I shall hide my eyes as to not see you as we once again are set apart |
