My light shined bright
but things took their tolls
my light
it hides behind the clouds
and the rose begins to wilt
what should I do?
My light flickers, just a flame
this is merely a wish, my wish
and it's unimaginable all my wishes
I keep them on shelves, in jars sealed tight
sometimes I let one go
in hopes my wish will find its way to come true
but of course, it doesn't.
I am not perfect, no one is
I cannot do this perfectly, no one can
I forget
I struggle
sometimes saying it is like bile
sometimes I don't know how to say it
but even if I don't say it
even if I don't say I love you
I do
if I didn't I would tell you
my words, they never seem to come out right
my actions are better
but here, I cannot use actions
here, words convey it
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I love you, I love you
but I cannot change this way that I am
I cannot make the words come out sometimes
but even still, I love you, I love you
Wrote this as a kinda vent thing on another site and decided to upload it here. It's not great, but I hope it's at least a little enjoyable
