It never stops Like Seattle rain Enormous drops Engorged with pain Choking crops A new forever stain Bogged down I struggle with the terrain Tightly wound I burn out under the strain Parts are lost and never found How much of me could possibly remain?
If you still love me I beg you never let me know Refrain from turning around Let me find my peace in watching you go The moment you're lost to the horizon Reclaimed by the setting suns glow I'll mutter to myself out loud "Now you can let the tears flow"
A wrong way trend setter In my own personal time line Can't say I didn't know better Each decision was mostly mine Goals for someone not a go getter Become the shackles that bind Having to eat my words for dinner I fear sitting down to dine
It's no surprise A sorrowful reprise Plays as the soul it hides Gives in once again To the echo of lies And familiar lullabies That ring as it cries To the cracks that appear Like lurking spies Before it withers and dies Leaving empty eyes
An unwanted prize That's what lies Beyond the reflection of skies Behind these blue eyes Past this gentle disguise Child like but wise Keeping from view what would give rise To a litany of farewells and goodbyes
If I had to guess I'd say living's my weakness A doomed quest From my first breath Breathing's an utterly useless Skill to possess Too easily stolen by stress The designs a mess No one in their right mind Would choose this
