So I flew away

And while I'm gone

I will try to forget.

 

The happiness that consumed me

Theres a first time for everything.

A first kiss,

A first goodbye

A first broken heart cry.

 

I went to church on Sunday,

Twice.... Just to clear my mind.

 

And if not for God,

And for my pen,

For without them

I don't know how I would of survived.

 

As for now I am not home

Its hard to stand strong there,

When your biggest fear,

And biggest disappointment,

Appear every night and day.

 

I close my eyes,

And I pray a lot.

That I can forget.

 

I just want to be happy,

Like I once was made,

But all to quickly

That was taken away.

 

Miles separate me

From what is my normal life,

Maybe that distance is what I need though,

So I can stop dreaming

Of,

You know,

At night.

 

Ive disappeared,

No longer the thought of me exists. 

I should to be able to not reminisce.

 

My heart pours out,

Into these words,

But I know not if my pain will be seen.

 

No one expects it,

I've hidden what hurts me most,

And that build up

Has slowly torn me down...

 

So I have flown away,

And left behind that pain,

Upon my return

I will have forgotten

What I came to not remember.

 

And one day,

years from now,

In the month after December,

When you return,

From far away,

I will of either remained in your mind....

Or my memory will become fade.
