Keep Going


I fill my days with so much noise, My nights with useless tasks Never giving myself any time I can’t let myself be stagnant That's when the pain comes Like a monsoon it overtakes me The pictures fill my head The tears sting my eyes I see the two of you Smiling and laughing together Not even noticing me sitting here I feel my chest tighten The bile rises in my throat My world just turned upside down I can’t catch my breath The pictures fill my head The tears sting my eyes I see the two of you Smiling and laughing together I have to keep moving Stopping means breaking down I can’t lose my composure The hurt is too much to bear The pictures fill my head The tears sting my eyes I see the two of you Smiling and laughing together
