Moving Foward
So you hoped your heart would keep you strong
And prayed my smile would rights the wrongs
That I have created
Leaving you patiently waiting for a call
suddenly you weren't too strong at all
And you hate this feeling of selfish resentment
Left my heart perforated weak right at the seams
And your a star you made it reached every last dream
But sleeping alone never felt worse in your mind
I know you still think about my lips time after time
So tear back to the pillow and try to be blind
to the thought of my laugh or looks in eyes when we touched
something so smooth transmuted to rough
now a chapter in life you denounce as too tough
a vison how little your surprised its a crime
a piece of stone small as grain eroded and fine
among an oceans' sand bar with waves of thought in blue lines
though it feels rough a chapter in life you think is so tough
But nonetheless you can't suppress the sound of my voice
your pattern of breathing addicted me to your noise
And no matter what I've selfishly said you became
Just know I will swallow my pride, ego, and shame
To hear you just once say the sound of name
It sounds so cold for you to not say it the same
