May 2018
I reflect on my mistake-riddled past
The heart behind the hurt dealt
Hold back my own frustrated tears
Falling in love made sadness melt

You are the reason why I am still here
I opened my heart to love once more
Slowly changing for better in your presence
Inside I feel a silent roar

I have ached so deeply over physical bonds
I have become so strong collecting scars
Spend my time poorly, throw it away
Wasting hours in bed instead of under pressure or stars

I sleep yet dream of yesterday's mistakes
In need of something that would us both alright
Awake or asleep, I am haunted by regrets
Unpleasant memories keep me up all night
Whst do you think about at night?
