You infect my mind everyday
Evermore thinking of your kiss
The one thing that was taken away
The one thing that I miss

That blank cold stare
Whispers trampling in my mind
You think I don’t care
It’s not cruel to be kind…

Poke it with a stick
Add fire to the flame
I will never run back
Never again

You came with a belt
I locked the door
I fell to the ground
My love was no more

We fell out of love
You shattered my heart
Just pretend like it’s nothing
Whilst I fell apart

Standing here today
Half dead, half alive
You think that you won
But the truth, I survived …

A window reflects our personality
Life moves on whilst we stand still

You don’t know I'm breaking
Breathing as this relentless aching
Continues like open wound
With my own infliction of pain to fault...
Staring back at me a bitter cold reflection, dreaming in decadence  
Even the happiest of endings can lead to so many tears.
Leaving only this time to reflect on ourselves

When I’m looking in your eyes sometimes it’s hard to look away

Because I’m think of the life we could have had, that I dream of someday

But when I see her standing in the light it’s hard to watch the show

One day the curtain will close and I will have to go

You inspired me to write, not a muse but a thought
You remind me of a comfort that cannot be taught
A warmth and safety that only you can hold
Your protective embrace never gets old

But for once this warmth is all but forgotten
We may not speak, the bridge may be rotten
This doesn’t mean it’s not loved or burnt
It just means we lost what we learnt

Coming back to the bridge we see what once was
But cannot cross over only because
The bridge and protection has been lost so long
Neither one can see this was where they belonged.

Standing up now it’s hard to look down the mountain I climbed.
And yet, at the top of the peak there is no perpetual bliss.
No heartfelt remorse, just a path.
Leading nowhere and everywhere my life may take me.

— The End —
