Once upon a time,I felt sublime.

The days passed fine, as i called you mine.

But this feeling is something new.

Nothing but gray, Nothing but blue.

Ever since you left, i've been so alone.

Can i come home?

It's where the heart lies, and in your arms, mine flies.

Without you here, I have nothing but fear.

We ended in the worst of ways.

I could not and cannot ever repay.

I could not be who you needed.

Up late nights, conversations were heated.

You needed me there, but I couldn't be and it wasn't fair.

I wanted to hold you as you cried, but I sat on the phone and lied.

I told you it would be okay, and that one day you would say

that you wanted to be alive. That you were excited to thrive.

I would see you smile, and have it last for a while.

But the blankets were stained too red. Images that won't escape my head.

I wake up screaming, from the memories I was dreaming.

I'm sorry for what I could not do. 

I failed you.

Give me another chance. We'll live, we'll love, we'll dance.

It's dark and cold at night when I roam.

Above everything else,

I just want to come home.
