I'm burning bridges like
torch lights - might as well
be in a cave.
I see there's no turning back now,
but at least
there's no one to save.
She said she'd leave on the
porch lights, but
she's nobody's slave.
How could I ask for more
when it was ALL that she gave?
Across the street from the corner
is an alley unpaved.
:: it turns out it only felt like
a cave ::
Life's dropped me, seething;
but still I'm breathing.
The only trick's to make it better
than it was before.
Life's robbed me, bleeding;
but still I'm breathing.
Mugged me,
after thieving
the corner store.
:: Guess I should've loved you more ::
And I guess I should've been stronger
than
being so weak.
Or you should've been weaker
than
being so strong.
If we never listen,
why even speak?
Broken,
we haven't spoken
in so very long.
:: She said that's my favorite song ::
And my eyes opened wide.
I should've known that
after seven years.
Life's got me bleeding,
needing
something a little more
than these
severed tears.
:: She says it's been this way
for years ::
I left you a while;
riled
and so untouched.
I guess I didn't notice
very much.
You jigsawed
my heart
when you could've halved.
I'd appreciate the artistry
if it didn't
hurt so bad.
:: You were everything I had ::
Couldn't believe
you'd leave
my broken-
hearted sleeve,
but I guess it was my fault
for putting it there...
to share.
:: Just know I care ::
Torch lights,
Porch lights,
Alleys unpaved,
And me wishing it were ALL I gave.
