So long, my heart, so long
If lies could heal
Spoken English would ****
Telling the truth
Never lasts for too long
Maybe someday you’ll try
And learn how to cry
Like you really mean it
Feel how I need it
It only lasts for so long
So long, my love, so long
If hands could heal
Calluses would ****
Emoting for you never lasts for too long
A hug
A kiss
Feelings I miss
Is it asking too much
Just to feel a real touch?
It only lasts for so long
So long, my trust, so long
Though you’re almost gone
Your shadow won’t linger
Next to me anymore
It’s been faded for so long
Return beyond
Throw in the towel
Never come back
For this day, I’ve been prepared
For so long
You’ve been gone so long
We're a "perfect family" in the eyes of outsiders. I hate to burst your bubble, but perfect families don't include a father who wakes up on Sunday morning with his bags already packed ready to walk out on us then expect everything to go back to normal just because he chose to stay. Three years later, my brother my mom and myself are STILL hurting. We forgave you, but we'll never forget how your moment of cowardice almost tore us apart.
