Wish this could be goodbye
So the last time we talked wasn't pleasant
And I needed to say sorry for the hostility I was sending
I want you to know that I thought we should talk
Maybe you'll want to, maybe you won't?
All the hatred and anger I shot at you-
Is that what I am feeling now?
Could we be close again- would that be ok?
Or did my negativity destroy any remnants of love that were once there
It's all dissolved- well most of it, anyway- I say I'm mature now
All grown up and not at all the same
Where has time gone- where have my memories disappeared to- why can't I remember
What it used to be like to be happy at home
To feel alive and awake and excited about the world
That's gone now-replaced with something different
It's all here- stuck inside me- melted in with my skin and bones
Part of every breath I inhale
I can't make it disappear- I try and I try and I try
I know that it's done- I want it over more than I need oxygen to survive...
But we can't always get what we want, can we?
What does it mean to be right- if you find yourself alone
Not yearning for the past, but searching- desperately for a new future
that can ease the pain and erase the memories of those times that felt like ages ago
So close to fading- but too clear for comfort
What do you do when nothing feels right
When the nearness of another can no longer ease the pain
What must you do when it comes from within?
When the world can't change a thing- but it's you that is broken
What can you do?
