Remember when
we walked to the office
because you needed to take care of business?

Remember when
you held my hand
because you could tell I was scared?

Remember when
we were on the bus
and I leaned on you to sleep?

Remember when
you'd always cheer me up
in the worst of times?

Remember when
you'd offer to throw yourself under the bus,
because I was a troublemaker?

Remember when
you got in trouble,
but I took all the blame?

Remember when
you asked me, "Why did you do that?"
"Why did you throw yourself under the bus?"

Remember when
I answered
"You'd do the same for me".

Why is it that
you had always left me alone
always leaving me for others
always leaving me because I wasn't
enough?

Why is it that
when you needed help
I would do anything for you
but when I needed you
you'd never respond?

Why is it that
you made plans with me
but when I came
you were nowhere to be found?

Why is it that
I'd get blamed
for things you'd done
but not a simple sorry nor thank you
came out of your mouth?

Why is it that
I'm so patient with you
sitting through everything
trying my best for you?

Why is it that
I'd fall
for the same lies
again and again?

Why is it that
I love you?

I'm Sorry
That you knew me
for so long

I'm Sorry
That I acknowledged you
when no one else would

I'm Sorry
That I stuck with you
Through everything
even though I would be shunned

I'm Sorry
That you would never
give me a second thought

I'm Sorry
That you made plans
and you never showed up

I'm Sorry
That I waited
for hours on end
believing in your promises

I'm Sorry
That I loved you
and never told you

I'm Sorry
That you always left me
when I called for help

I'm Sorry
That I tried

I'm Sorry
That I love you

Throughout my life
I've always wondered
How did people like
The sound of silence?

In my head
It was incessant screeching
Only was I lucky
Was I able to hear a sound
Before it got to my head

But then I realized
With the world going around me
It was good to have some silence
Once in a while

I thought miracles
Would never happen
to someone like me

Then you came along
With the breeze

You said you loved me
and I did too in return

As quickly as you came
You left
With the breeze

You lifted my heavy heart
A miracle to me
A favor to me

I saw you occasionally
Along with the breeze

You're blind to their faults
Others will see it
You won't

You're taken with them
Others won't see what you do
But you won't see what others do

"They're perfect for me"
That's what you think
When you think you're in love

Truth comes like a storm
It destroys what you think are your feelings
It flushes out the rest

But after the storm
You see the barren land
That was originally there

You see the truth

I lost you
The one thing I promised not to lose
Gone

Soon after that
My love faded
Leaving nothing but dust
For where it stood

I broke my promise
I didn't mean to
This wasn't supposed to happen

My friends noticed
They didn't say anything
They assumed I'd move on

I didn't

I watched
as you loved
as you smiled

My heart was broken
shattered to pieces

I picked up the pieces
and tried putting it back together
only to find that I had lost a piece

That piece was you
