Halfway to heartbreak Or halfway to home The path laid before me The fog of unknown If I open that door What lays behind The heartbreak or home That I glimpse in my mind

Heartbreak or Home
I could write about the future that you made me see Before walking out the door with a girl who wasn’t me I could write about the way you made me want to be the best version I could be Then told me it’s not good enough you just don’t really like me I could write about how you chased and chased And when I started running too you said you didn’t like this game I could tell of all the ways you broke my heart And the ways you made it ache Though none of it is real all of it is true We were never in love so why does it feel like I lost you

I Lost You
Longing for a love like the one I felt before But I can hardly call that love anymore Instead my overwhelming feelings a kind of limerence The sight of you causing my heart to prance As you lingered in my life all those years Pulling on my heart in a way it still fears Far enough away not to break the fantasy Close enough to stoke the flames in me And I look on obsessing you into my everything Though nothing real could our relationship bring

Limerence
Would that I could escape all this pain I run and run but my body’s still the same If I could float I could fly leave my body for a time To know the weightlessness of not being overwhelmed by this constant pain To flit in the currents of the wind and not feel the whole world around me spin To run and not tire to walk and not ache To fit in with the crowds passing by To relate to them when they complain about what it is like to fly To fit in without even having to try Instead of trying so hard to lock it all up inside Just smile and say your doing fine And I’m sorry I can’t make it I haven’t got the time Just to sit inside and cry till all my tears are dry Wondering what it would be like if I could only fly

If I could fly
Whispers in my mind, voices in my head Scattered thoughts turned to scratches of lead What does it mean? What has it said? It's nothing but words cold and dead Scatters of verse tangles of meaning Only time will tell what these thoughts are gleaning Will the words I write do their part To slowly heal my shattered heart

Healing words
They say if I just got this far it all would go away The pain the loss that haunts me would just be gone someday The light and bright potential would chase the clouds away But the darkness still lurks closely, crouched in waiting it lays If I keep running can I leave it all in the past Finally reach something so great the pain is gone at last

They Say it Goes Away
You’ve played your part, now I shall play mine On and on in this game we mime Trapped in these parallel lines Will one of us break script And voice now our truest line Or do we play on living out these lies Never letting this false face slide
