I miss the dream that once was there,
Holding onto miserable moments keeps me grounded.
Wondering why for you I still care.
Twelve years of memories, dreams, and promises to my heart are bounded.

Leaving you alone was the best decision made.
A relationship of extremities only leads both empty-handed.
A cunning love slashes the heart with a never-ending blade.
Every positive attempt for joy was taken in your hateful view and branded.

No one there to talk to, so I take my feelings to above.
Peace comes to me in the quiet of the night.
Sitting beneath the stars and the stillness of nature I chose to still love.
For the depth of my care is what keeps my life bright.

Pain has made me a strong person for it will not darken my existence.
I move on with a smile.
Self-defeating thoughts and negative people are in my path of resistance.
A hopeful and faithful heart will get me through every mile.
