Dear the lost loved ones


Dear the lost loved ones 

I know you’re reading this 

We know you once said “you would do anything for love”

But received that one gift you couldn’t handle 

A battle royal relationship that would go on for hours 

the only fighting was inside like a scortching candle 

I should have listened 

I should have listened 

“He told me...”

“She said everything was fine.....”

“Why do you have to be so naïve”

My darling don’t you see

What I have discovered

You weren’t the lost loved 

It was them not you and me 

It was the destroyed, the broken, and the unworthy 

They took the sunshine right from inside of you 

Quick like a snake slithering through your shadow

But you will always have that glow

My darling please just hear me out 

You aren’t the lost one here 

You’re doing great right now 

And if this day today your happy and smiling 

That is all I could really ask for

But to all the lost loved ones who wallow in pitty

inside the deadly hallows hinding inside dark cities 

Your flower will blossom soon enough 

just let the sunshine in and you’ll see 

the new lost loved ones will soon be out to get you you’ll see
