Mar 2012
With an ounce of tears and a pinch of regret
I sat on the steps and I bowed my head
And all of the things I hadn't said yet
Ran through my mind til my cheeks were wet

Sorrows and butterflies flew through my heart
Pushing at the seams til I fell apart
I have yet to end but I have no place to start
This is life's foolish movie, and I have no part

A few graceful steps, my eyes only stared
What I could've said, if I only dared
My gift was my curse, silence 'cause I cared
My heart left in pieces, feelings undeclared

With a new vow of silence and years of remorse
I rise from the steps as you open the doors
And I never once look, though it requires much force
Knowing there’s pain in your eyes, and I am the source

I hear my name called and choose not to reply
It hurts to ignore, but hurts more to know why
If this is my truth, then I’d rather lie
As cheers ring around me, I leave you behind

I’d ask for forgiveness, you would just shake your head
Without life, I must now live like the dead
With the one of your choosing you are eternally wed
Some other now stands, where I once stood instead
