Caught in the moment,
in all ways but the right one,
because of three words.
The ones I wish I never
even though I meant.
You've always broken me down,
now she picks me up
her smile a flame
a guiding point in the dark
that shows me new hope.
Not that I didn't love you.
I will always care,
just know you left me hanging
hanging by a thread
over the blades of sorrow
and I understand.
Just another way to die
came with that dead love,
and rests in my mind.
Laughter was inspiration
your tears were my pains.
Gifts that were once yours,
yet are yours no more/
Trying to reclaim myself
shattered up pieces.
I asked for you to guide me,
take me by the hand,
share a world we understand.
Now you will always
be immortalized as 'Her'.
She who broke my heart,
one that was put together
at the perfect time
by the one who really cared
the one who saw me
tearing apart at the seams
the one who showed me
there's a place for me somewhere.
Three cheers for goodbye
Pain, suffering are both me
never forgotten
never in a thousand years.
When the sun freezes
cold, and in empty despair
you will share this pain.
Nothing but a memory,
and a faint one, that,
is in your heart forever
just maybe not quite
in the space that it once was.
Not in the same light
but there in by memory
the faded light of love.
But that is just the story,
story of a life.
