You have forgotten this song
the power it holds on your heart
how it can crush you like a rock
maybe you shared it with an old lover
or its the song they played for your friends funeral

Suddenly you hear the start of the first verse
and it breaks your heart
the eternal sadness comes rushing back
and its almost too much to bear

Every verse, chorus, and lift leaves you breathless
Crescendos crash into you
Bridges breaks you
but nothing hurts as much as the ending
and the way it leaves you feeling lost

I lie on cold ground
with candles surrounding me
their fires burning my skin

tears have stained my cheeks
and blood runs red through my hair

I just want to hold you
and love you
but you reject my kiss and caress

you deny my love
and spit at my feet

and yet I lie here
with the candles surrounding
and I know

that if I get too close
I will burn

Be blissful
and serene

Take care of yourself
and others

Run and stop
enjoy every moment as it flies by

Enjoy the way hot tears spill down your cheeks
and love the way your chest hurts from silenced screams

Rage is just as beautiful
as your smile

Crinkling eyes
and big dimples

Wrinkles, stretch marks, and freckles
are your victories

Be Blissful
and Serene

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone
And yet I miss him dearly

I'm crazy in love but too afraid to show it

I want to wrap myself around you
until I'm pulled away
until you call me insane

Am I too much?
Am I enough?

I'm only happy with you
I'm only happy with you
I'm only happy with you
Even though you drive me insane
Even though you're such a pain
I'm only happy with you
I just want to be with you

You're just a silly girl
with a dazed look in her eye
and flowers in hair
twirling around the room
with laughter spilling from her teeth

You're just a silly girl
with the notion that he really loves you
and he will stay by your side
shouting from the room
with love dripping from your tongue

You're just a silly girl
with the idea that people are good
and everyone holds the best intentions
speaking throughout the room
with nonsense slipping from her throat

You're just a silly girl
with a sad droop of your head
and clenched fists at your side
sobbing in the room
with tears dripping from your lips

You're just a silly girl

Do you regret it?

For one of the rare moments in my life
I was genuinely
happy

I had been myself
and I was strong
I felt secure
and I felt loved

Everything was right
the clouds
the weather

I was
on top
of the
world

And then like
a tidal wave
it was over

The monsters of the sea
wrapped their dangerous
tentacles around my legs
and pulled me back into the dark depths

I was overwhelmed
and saddened
too tired to lift up my head

it was the same story
the same voices repeating over and over again
reprimanding
scolding

I guess I'll just keep going
looking forward to the next time
I'll be happy
