Dust in the Wind
Bailey Jan 2019
Even on the darkest nights
The stars shine bright
Even the dullest stars
Can’t shine without darkness
And as the moon pops into the sky
A piece of me will shrivel and die
For I will never find another you
My mind will unglue
Heart once stitched tightly at the seems
Falling apart now by any and all means
And as the wind blows through my hair
A part of me will still dare
The memories of us scattered across the floor
Trying to push them out the door
Yet I can’t help but wonder
If I will ever find another
Heart shattered
Across the floor it’s scattered
Sweeping up the dust
It was only ever lust
Always asking why
Why did you lie
Love it was never
My heart I surrendered
I still dream of holding you close
My home is still filled with your ghost
I want you here
Yet I can’t stand when you’re near
Once my moon and stars
Now the reason for my scars
When will you see
It will always be me
The one that would hold you when you wanted to die
The one that would wipe your tears when you would cry
So I swallow my pain
One by one
The stitches slowly coming undone
And as I grow numb
I behind to feel dumb
Why hold onto something long gone
Why sing sad song after song
Bottle after bottle
Until I feel like I won the lotto
I’ll say goodbye to you
I’ll see that we’re through
I’ll welcome my demons
With open arms
The only place
Where I’m safe from all harms
And then the sun pops into the sky
And the memories of us shrivel and die
Breakups are fun

— The End —
