rediscover me

 

All of my heart and all its pieces

 

Broken and scattered

 

I lay on my room floor;

 

Blank expressions shattered

 

I’m wondering as I cry

 

Laying here empty, thinking why

 

Why do we fight?

 

Why fight when we’re both

 

Just falling

 

Or why even try if we’re both

 

Just fading

 

Because we have fallen

 

 

 

We fell the first time

 

And we stood

 

The second and we cracked

 

And again once more and we were

 

Simply just torn apart

 

May be we were just torn from the start

 

 

 

But it still kills me to leave

 

Just get up, and depart

 

Without looking back

 

And it seems like I don’t care

 

But I’m simply too scared

 

And you never did learn to share

 

But we no longer give even a slightest damn

 

As we stand and we simply stare

 

 

 

Stare at each other and what

 

We have become

 

What’s done can’t be undone

 

We got so caught up in all of this

 

We never stopped to see and look

 

To shoot and now we just miss

 

Or missed…

 

Missed all the simplicity that should have been there

 

The words that should have been said

 

And some should have been left unspoken

 

We might be bonded forever but we can’t be unbroken

 

 

 

Weve become monsters

 

To each other, strangers

 

And everything is just up in the air

 

And the sting lingers

 

Just like at one time

 

So did your finger

 

And so did your touch

 

Which some days I miss so much

 

 

 

But I don’t miss it enough to go back to who I was

 

And who we were

 

No I can’t do that

 

It’s too empty and dark down there

 

A shallow hallow deep hole

 

 

 

We became each others greater enemies

 

And forgot how to be lovers

 

Covered and swimming in the doubt

 

Instead of being the believer

 

We thought we would make it when

 

We jumped in deep

 

And now….

 

Now I’m losing sleep

 

I’m afraid to close my eyes

 

Because I’m afraid I’ll hear your cries

 

Of when you begged me to stay and to remain

 

But I couldn’t keep living in the fear and pain

 

I needed change, I needed freedom

 

I had to walk away from my only kingdom

 

I let go only to grab hold

 

Of life, of simplicity and silence

 

Of beauty, true laughter, and balance

 

And oh how strange it is to feel so captivated and yet free

 

Walking down the road where I finally have control

 

And I get to rediscover me.
