I've relived my memories so many times
and acted out the anger and blurred the lines
of who I am and who you were and who I never wanted to be
But I can't seem to escape the you in me

and I've been told to let go and I've been told to forgive
but who are you to judge if you never lived
the darkness that was my life
you are just my wife...

But I see it now and I think I understand
to forgive isn't for them it's to make me a better man
because I can't let go if I'm always angry inside
and it's just as well, the past should have died... a long time ago
It was a winters morning with clear blue skies
I saw the sunrise in your eyes
I felt the clouds in your every breath
You were my all with nothing left
You wrap yourself tightly with your blankets of pain and sorrow
Are you afraid of letting go, afraid of starting a new tomorrow?
Not letting go keeps you away from me
Alone is not where you want to be.
Don't savor the pain yet reject the hand that tries to help you though I cannot possibly understand what you have been through.  But I see you, I see your pain.  I may not have lived your past but it didn't last and yet we can if you do not push me away so fast.  I just want to listen when you want to talk, hold you when you can't and tell you how the stars got their names.
Is it always going to be this way?
a place to cry
to hit
to cuddle
Destined, here i will sit
to watch your life
turn into a puddle

to let you make mistakes
and listen every time
to every scorn
every heartache
every mistake
every crime

i cant complain
i share in the happiness too
but only from the sidelines
and i'm happy for you too
its okay that you only need me to rest your head
and its okay the one you truly miss
is usually just your bed.

ill always be here
patiently waiting for you
to come on home
and lie with me through
every coming day
that is to unfold
because that's all i really need
someone (a head? a heart?) to hold.

But if one day you decide you care enough to ask
yeah
i guess it does hurt
that you think of me last
but its alright
come now
rest your head
ill keep wishing that some day
you'll cry over me
instead.
Its okay. This is the life i was called to..
Only the
past is set
in stone,
my friend.

You don't have
to continue
being the
person you
were
yesterday.
I loved you for your broken soul, your frightened eyes and lonely tears
I offered you my shallow pride, my hidden scars and jealous fears

I fought with you and yelled at you all the while my eyes crying out Why can't you just hold me one more time?!!  

But you are not here, only the scars you left behind.
Morning dew lends her kiss my skin so soft and sweet
 
the scent of heaven in the air, rich soil beneath my feet
 
rays of sunshine warm and bright as they come to say hello
 
while a gentle breeze blows on by leaving petals in the meadow
When the burdens of the world have all come crashing down,
when there's no one left to hold no comfort to be found;
when daylight seems a blur and the only peace is dark,
I'll leave you to your metaphors and pierce my breaking heart
