Although I want you,
I do not need you.
My life will go on,
With or without you.

I will look back on our memories
Without resentment.
Knowing you hurt me
Because you were hurting yourself.

Though our time was short lived,
Like sand in an hourglass.
You made an impression
That will last a lifetime.

Goodbye.

How do I break the cycle
I cannot control my thoughts
I replay scenarios
like an unchained melody on loop
Future fears
Past mistakes
Haunt me like an empty house

I am not enough
(You are enough)

A power struggle
Between my inner demons
Right and wrong
Pain and happiness
A record skips
Replaying the same line
Over and over
My anxious mind is a prison
To which I’ve been given a life sentence

I can’t undo what has been done.
Cannot unsing a song that’s been sung.
The guilt I feel over this deception,
Clouded by lust from my exception.

I never thought I’d be the one insincere,
Until we met and you drew me near.
Though it was wrong, it felt so right.
I tried to say no, but I lost the fight.

How do I crawl back into my old bed,
When there is so much left unsaid?
I will forever carry the weight of this secret,
and force myself to keep it.
