And I see him in someone's sideways smirk,
someone's endless brown eyes,
someone's smile when they laugh.
We were like a summer suntan.
It took time to create but once it was there
Man, it was beautiful.
We had it all.
We were the romance of movies.
It was quick and easy
Don't think you can ignore me
Walk out of the door and out of my life
I looked up to you and thought of you twice
To me you were everything, the reason I lived and breathed
Girl you're a cute one, a quiet one
The one I really really want one
I was lovin' you from a far
But I stepped in to feel that fire
January's never been so hot
Till I shot the question...
The best pair of shoes, that I ever did lose, fit on my feet, like paper to glue.
The best pair of shoes, that I ever did lose, frayed laces abound, yet I did not peruse.
The faces fade to ash
Photographs discolored to the sickly yellow
Of rotting buttercups and stagnant sunlight
Captured in dust-coated rooms
Disintegrating into something less than nothing
I should be happy But for some reason I'm sad I can't understand the game you're playing It feels like we're on different levelsYou're funny, cute, and awesome But I can't seem to feel what I've felt before
You’re my Marlboro Red in the dead of night
A single amber glow amid the choking blackness
But oh how you will never understand
the way your embers light up my soul
Scorching me black from inside out
Sitting in the past,
I see you wear a mask.
Why can't you just be honest?
I thought you were my goddess.
What did I do you wrong?
Was I not good enough?
The world was against the two of us.
Ten years old
I didn't have a worry in the world
Eight years later
the world is weighing me down
I didn't do this right.
I could be doing better.
I'm selfish.
I yell and scream.
A feather floats by,
Soft and warm.
You feel warm arms,
Around you once more.
The soft caresses of the past.
