Hurt and scarred I ran to hide, I know this hurt will not subside. They left their mark and left it well, And the less I try the more I dwell. What's done is done and I should move on, Looming in the shadows now that they're gone.
It seems like yesterday they turned and walked away, But what they said and did with me would stay. I thought that I had left them far behind, I thought the deal was sealed and signed. I thought with you I would move forward, I thought with you I would feel empowered.
I feel so empty so cold and blank, Almost like the ship that sank. Shattered dreams a lonely wreck of love and time, The punishment does not seem to fit the crime. But still I stand alone or not, Thankful for all that I've got.
Every night I shed a tear for what has passed, An opportunity missed and never grasped. My own stupid mistake no one else to blame, Admitting my pain I feel no more shame. Taming the beast of broken emotions, Dealing with the past and growing frustrations.
I've no doubt that the person I knew is no more, Changed like the line of the beaten shore. Still I hold on with no explanation, Still I hold on to the forgotten location. Still I remember the way it had been, Their face their smile the person I'd seen.
I don't know how they did this to me, But my only wish is now to be free. Free from the pain the want the need from it all, But I guess that to give it all up is still my call. Stuck on a person my heart will remain, Until at long last myself I reclaim.
