I'm not saying I'm contented with the past I think the future is a gamble and means Forgetting all the chapters, the good and the bad The easy and the hard, the clear and the blurred And what's more, the friends and family, my blood I'm not saying I should not move on and It's all I want to do But where is "on"? Is it north, South, East or west? Is "on" up so that I can construct wings or is it down So that I can gather the tools of strength and start digging? I'm not implying I enjoy the nightmares of knowing it was all ******* But I just cannot plough through this in an instant like a mad ox I don't even mean you know nothing about the pain of a loss Your loss was your way and,I mine,knowing don't me you understand I'm not saying you haven't been there and seen it all All I ask for is more time to ounce by ounce lift this burden off my chest Wash my mind in forgiveness and cleanse my soul I'm not asking you to get so upset and leave But It's your choice,you can stay and watch me grieve I appreciate you being kind and beautiful That's why lying that I'm over it will make me a fool I'm not saying I want to embrace the memories like I'm cursed All I'm trying to say is some stories are best sellers ******, happy or sad because at some point all life is hard
