Family


I used to believe in a close happy family

But now I've been awakened and feel so alone

I always dreamt of staying together

But I never dreamt of departing our ways

If  I could, I'd go back and relive our lives when we loved one another

I would give my life up to relive those moments we once shared; Even if it meant to depart the last breath I hold

I never thought a few people would tear us apart

But I just might accept that no longer will we ever be whole

I cant live without you

But I can learn to live without you, even if it meant ridding everything we all shared.

I wont shed a tear amongst the sounds of your names

But I might hold back the sadness and still smile

I used to believe in family

But now I'm alone
