When You Wake

December 2, 2020

One day you’re gonna wake up

You’re gonna realize all you’ve left behind

You’re gonna call me asking

“How ya doing?” “ How ya been?”

Say you miss me, that your sorry, that you love me , same of talk of all your trauma

Repeated patterns Makes it hazy

I’d say if that’s true then where’ve you been?

Whyd you leave me ? Why’d you hurt me , why’d you leave me questioning?

You said that you needed me so I listened

I know where you’ve been

Where you are Is far from where you’re going

Where you’re headings seeming rocky

I tried to save you , tried to love you time and time again

Same old loop you call me up, saying that you’re better now

My heart tells me lies but my mind keeps me cautious

I seen the hurt inside of you that no one knew

I saw the love you kept tucked inside of you

There’s patterns of emotion telling me you’re not okay

My heart wants to helps you but my mind isn’t the same through every heart ache

I wanted to think I could save you , Just to help you, Just one glimpse of teach you how to fly

I wanted to , I tried to but i wall seems too unsteady

I tried so hard but I’m losing hope of putting out the fire your life started.

So close yet so far away

Flames flourish into doubt as I slowly crept closer

Deep down when I looked into your soul

Stood a child with all the answers

Enjoyed by the flame and the feelings it brought

we are always going round

Back and forth we dance around each others hearts tho only one remains unmade.
