When I Was There.

Folder: 
Hyacinth garden



My intention is to move on.

Why does my heart lag behind?

You don’t love me anymore.

I didn’t see the loneliness that was in store.



Why am I the one who feels so insecure?

You told me that we’ve all been there.

We’ve all been there before.

And now it seems that there is gone too.



So close yet so far.

On the tip of my tongue.

In the shot of a star.

From the top back down to the last rung.



Were we too late?

Did you have to let it hesitate?

Feeling so confused.

Feel so used.



We were there!

Are you still there?

After I fell.

You just stepped across the divide.



So, now I have the climb back to the top.

And I crawl to the brink

To see my world beneath.

I look down only to laugh.



And I keep laughing at the fool.

I see his eyes hold back.

The fool knows he’s not that young anymore.

But still the years revolve back around.





I been hurt before, long before I knew you.

Never knew that love could hurt like this.

It’s tearing me apart.

If I had any sense, I’d find a place to hide my heart.



I can’t drink myself into oblivious pity.

Maybe, I can lose myself in New York City

You told me that we’ve all been there.

And now it seems that there is gone too.
