20/Neither/Durham, NC My name is Lizbeth, I don't know where to begin. Not sure where I belong.
Take me back, Back to the days when we talked for hours. When we stayed up late into the night. Back to when we walked in silence And completely understood each other. Take me back, When we sat in sunshine. When we ran through thunderstorms. Back to when we didn’t worry about what others thought And dismissed them without a care. Take me back, Back to when we laid in fields, And spoke sweet nothings in each other’s ears, And it wasn’t til now we realized they were just that, Sweet nothings. Take me back, Just take me back To when I didn’t know I should’ve tried harder To hang on to someone I didn’t realized had meant so much. Take me back, Back to before you were here, but at the same time gone, And it was all my fault Because I walked on without you. Because I was a mindless fool. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I didn’t know. Take me back.

Take Me Back
You broke me But somewhere deep inside I always knew, You and I were not meant for forever. I always knew we wouldn't last; Something in me told me that. But over and over My mind runs through our time And I wonder why? Why does it hurt when I knew we'd end? Why does it hurt knowing I won't see you again? Why do I wish for one more day? One more night? My mind tells me to move on forward, But my heart, it wishes for just a little more. I'm at war with myself, Logic and reasoning Versus Wishes and dreaming. My mind says move on But worse off My heart says what if? You broke me But deep inside I always knew you would And yet I still hurt.

I've Always Known
I carry the grief of you between my shoulder blades. Like stones in a heavy backpack. I feel like I've just jumped into a river.
