Reminding myself to breathe
As you walk by me
Do I dare to speak
Or keep silent?
It is hard to decide
What choice I will make
As you are getting closer
I panic
I don’t say a word
Regrets rush through my mind
Within seconds
I could have
Told you how I was feeling
Afraid of rejection
I live in this constant fear
Wondering when I will let you in my life
Tired of being shy
I just want to tell you
How I feel
Without any worries…
he left her
so cold
she couldn’t feel
her skin anymore
when it came to pain
she tried so hard
to believe she was
still alive
but it was getting harder
for her to breathe
without his
warm embrace
We’re two worlds apart
If we collide into each other
We may not connect like
I’d hope we would
We might explode instead
So I stay in denial
I pretend I don’t need you
But I am tearing up inside
Wishing I was brave enough
To look into your eyes
As you walk by
But my anxiety fills my head
Sad dark instrumental piano music by Mandy Williams called “Cold Rain”
She remembers when
She first laid her eyes on his
That was the moment-
She let herself fall
Hoping he was worth her time
Minutes are precious-
She thought to herself
A broken heart can be healed
If she gave a chance-
At a new romance
Passion can cure anything
If you let it in-
It was hard for her
To accept he wanted her
For eternity-
She was the type to
Make them want to run away
She needed to hide-
All of her feelings
They always broke up with her
She was hard to love-
She liked it that way
She enjoyed the pain they gave
As they walked away-
Never knowing why
She had to be difficult
When it came to love-
I saw you walk away from us
Without looking back
I thought to myself
How could he do that
I thought we were a family
Why didn’t he stay
I didn’t understand
Why it had to be that way
I was left confused
I thought, was I forgotten?
What did I do wrong
To make him want to depart?
It was hard to stay strong
I just couldn’t believe
This was happening
His face started to fade
It was challenging
To not have him there
I felt like he no longer
Even cared for me
Tears were rolling
Down my eyes constantly
Every night, wishing I
Had an answer why
It had to be this way
Why I was abandoned
Left without his love
Leaving me saddened?
He told me he loved me
Under the rain
When he spoke my name
I didn’t feel any pain
Like I used to
When I was alone
Surrounded in silence
It drove me insane…
So glad that I met him
Before it was too late
I honestly…
Was getting sick of breathing
Before he came into my life…
Now after years together
He tells me he is leaving me…
As if it is so easy
Just to walk away
From what he called love
Supposedly
I feel our love was a lie
Since he abandoned me
I wish I wasn’t blinded
By the passion he gave
I realize
I was just used
I was just a mistake
He said he wasted days
Of not telling me the truth
That this was the only way
And I have to accept
That we are no longer together
And that he regrets
He didn’t tell me sooner
He said he was sorry
That he hurried to fast
Into something he knew
Would never last
I was in shock
With the words he said
It’s hard to believe
I spent years with him
To find out he always had a plan
To leave me eventually
Painfully…
I try to understand
But it is hard
I feel like I will never be enough
For anyone to love
My heart shattered
It’s hard to breathe
I don’t want to go on
Feeling this broken
Everyone tells me to forget
But it seems impossible
I miss him too much
It sucks, I’m not enough
Growing weaker without him
I know I seem pathetic
But I gave him my all
When I decided to fall
For his sweet taste
From his lips
I will always miss
The nights we had
I still ache inside
Wishing we could still collide
Back into each other’s arms
Only in my dreams
I can have him now
It is hard to admit
I was never enough
For him to commit
I have no choice
But to continue life
Without his perfect face.
Goodbye my friend
The one who held hands
With me down the river
Watching the stream pick up
From the windy breeze
We separated as teens
Wishing we could have been
Together a little longer
Today I am stronger
But I still miss you
Like no other
I still ask God, why her?
Why not me instead?
She had big plans to go places
To meet so many faces
I was just bland with
No plans
So why God,
Why did you take her instead?
i wonder what it would be like to be
the ones who travel the earth with no
clue what is really going on around them
living peacefully without a worry
about when the Earth may end
By a single explosion or an astroid
They keep living without a thought
About when the Sun may fade
Or if the rain may flood the land
I wish I could be like those who
Bike the roads without an idea
About the pollution or world hunger
It’s too late, I am filled with
Negative thoughts
Thanks to those who like to
Spread the disease
Of negativity…
Oh how I wish I was
One of those who didn’t know
The hate that lives
On this planet, I’d be so happy…
i remember when my
friend and i
would have these
conversations about life
one by one
we were
always together
walking down our road
waiting for the world
to unfold
as we shared all
our thoughts with
one another
i remember those
easy days
playing truth or dare
every weekend
without a care
about what else
was out there
we didn’t discuss
about the evil
that lurked around us
we thought that
everything was alright
we were naive back then
it felt as if that was
the only time i
could take a full breath
without losing my mind
nowadays i know of
all the pain
that spreads
all around us
there is no stopping
the evil in this world
we are still waiting
for the day
we can all hold hands
and pray for a new
beginning where we
all co-exist with each other.
