Right Words


You were once everything to me

A crescendo in my symphony

Crashing like waves in the sea

You were once everything to me

But things change

We rearrange

Kisses start to feel strange

Foreign exchange

Fighting, loving, switching blame

I'm not abused, that's insane

But I can't help but want to speak its name

Bruises do not stain my skin

But my emotions are convulsing with the wind

I need to confront you, but when

Will I have the right words to even begin?
