Finding Myself

I loved you forever and always

I gave my everything to try and make it work

When you walked away

My heart fell and shattered into a million tiny pieces

I lost who I was

My whole world changed after you walked away

I used to walk the straight and narrow path with you at my side

When you left me alone I ventured onto a different path

A dangerous path

Playing games with my life like it was nothing

Staying high to deal with the loss of you

Sleeping with different people each night to try to fill the emptiness in my heart

Failing to do so with each different person

None of them could take your place in my heart

Smoking to kill the time

Staying high to kill the feelings

Nothing mattered anymore

Reaching a new chapter in my life a dark one filled with regrets

A chapter I'll certainly deny to anyone who knows me

Filled with dark nights in rooms filled with smoke

Hoping to forget the memory of you

Smoking until I forget who I am and what my name is

Losing you changed who I am

On a journey to find who I really am without you

You and I was all I ever knew

It's my time to figure out who I am when I'm alone
