Bleak eyes and sore throats,
Dark room and elevated pulse,
Several broken promises
Floating away on Aladdin's carpet.
Leaving the premises of my heart.
Burning bridges all around me
Consuming me and setting the world on fire.
They burn the city up like fireflies
Disappointments and expectations gone awry
Exhaustion and anger is what remains
Empty broken bottles line my kitchen floor
One stuck on the door won't let it close.
Sleeping is burning through me
Anxiety won't let me sleep
I cannot recover the harsh words
Said in anger and distraught
Adrenalin has its peaks and ditches
Mine is still roaming around scattered
Words I always wanted to say
are imprinted on their minds
And recorded in their ears
So are theirs on mine
I cannot forget them.
Mother always said going forward and regretting is always a waste and believe me I'm in no haste
Although in my darkest time I do regret
I can't take back my words
And I won't let them take back theirs
