Ready to close my heart to you.
Ready to stop the tears from falling
Ready to no longer have the falling leaves and summer wind
Remind me of you.
It seems you have moved forth.
Already closed your heart to me
But are terrified of what could happen
If you cut that string
to your heart to mine
For some reason the tears
And snot continue to fall forth
Continue to rush their way out of me
I no longer want to be affected by you.
Goodbye to the known world
And hello to the future.


My tears make me feel weak
For it was my vulnerable self which you
Once praised me for- is what became to much
It is what forced our hearts apart.
I forgot my fiery self
Forgot the parts of me that burn and sparkle
What make me exciting

I needed you to shake me
Shake me whole
Shake me out of the terrible place I was in

I don’t want you to have all of me
My wants, my fears my desires
You don’t get
You don’t get those secret parts of me
Because you are getting them from someone else
Goodbye till tomorrow
Goodbye till the next time I breathe
And I will be waiting
