Love Lost

May 7, 2013

I’m holding onto pieces of my past My broken heart coerced me to resent Thinking of the time I saw you last Longing for the chance to mask your scent I bid farewell to time I lost with tears The bittersweet, atonement of your lies Such struggle I have born throughout these years You’d think I was the master of disguise I’m drowning in the sorrow of ‘love lost’ My plea for help is swallowed by the waves A grief so deep I cannot count the cost The painful memories take me to my grave Some say that time can heal a shattered soul But only God can truly make one whole

Some like it simple, some like it sweet. Either way it goes, I'll still be me. Been rollin' on the river of love for quite some time now, but it seems my boats about to go down. Funny thing is, I'm in here alone, and I'm staring at my reflection, while I contemplate my home. It seems I am alone on this dark rolling sea, which started as a flower, but now is stinging like a bee. My words are not simple, they aren't tranquil, they may be brash, but if you aren't careful you'll find your soul strangled in my clasp.
