There is a ocean of tears between us, these feelings I should have outgrown.
On a life boat I still rock towards you
My paddle weighted, it has turned to stone.
My mind screams with the truth
It's melodic and rhythmic
My heart unable to comprehend Blindly, It ignores these soothing tones.
I still crave every taste of you
Emotions severed, I get pulled in all directions, my souls completely torn.

Passion in a tug of war.

I know I should move on
These magnetic feelings I caught
I looked for the positivity, the negativity I constantly fought
Your breath I still continually feel
It rewinds in my mind, it's a nightmarish reel. No matter how I try and wash your sweet scent from me
Your touch, still burn my skins thought.

I know that it's over, i cannot rip at this band aid, as much as I don't want to miss your touch
These feelings has become my second skin, it's still painfully raw.

I will forever love you,
I hate myself for having these thoughts
Yet I'm stuck in the quicksand of time
I fall to my knees, happiness locked within me, the key I misplaced as darkness decend
I feel it in my core, I instantly then realise,
This condition, has no exit door.
Sometimes we get stuck in the past
No matter how logic pulls at your heart
It's broken from the inside
So the voice of reason it no longer hears
You cannot ease your fears
So you fall to your knees, you pray that time heals
Push down these emotions
And hope to again one-day be reunited with glee.
