This One

This one's for the nights filled with fights and thoughts unkind

This one's for the hearts that broke so hard they couldn't be repaired

This one's for the tears we've shed from time to time

This one's for both your heart and mine

This one's written when words are too much to be spoken

This one's for those shattered hearts before they're broken

This one's to the friends who made mistakes and can't take them back

This one's for the unspoken love that somehow derailed, off track

This one's because I can't stand to see you hurting

This one's a way to dull the pain from all the burning

This one's forgotten what it's like to breathe

This one's not forgotten what it means to believe

This one's slowly changing into a new direction

This one's tired but can't sleep or even dream

This one's remembering why he won't give up hope

This one's somehow, someday learning how to cope

This one's never going to run out of words to say

This one's ready for a challenge and will push it all away

This one's not going to change the way he cares

This one's done pretending that he is completely unaware

This one's poem is getting pretty long

This one's thoughts are soon to write another song

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is what happens when you have so much to say, but are too tired to try and articulate your thoughts into a song at the moment.  These words are all true, though. All of them.
