You Live in My Mind

by j-17

You live in my mind You never leave If only to give, and never to receive Why then must I constantly seek Your face in every place hoping for just a peak How can one half move on so free I wish that one half wasn’t you, I wish it were me To be free from the bars you’ve prisoned me in Nothing but the darkness of my thoughts to satisfy the sin I envy how you can simply walk away, fine If only I occupied your mind as much as you do mine Is it our curse, will we always care more Or is it just me, lost wondering what it is I’m looking for Time will pass as it already has And still I won’t heal as you certainly have I pray, I wish for my own sanity That as you occasionally catch a glimpse of me You wonder the what if’s – what could have been A flash of regret, some yearning again. Wishful thinking, as always I will tell myself again Just as I wish I could undo what I did.
