The pattern never seems to change
Back and Forth, Back and Forth
I’m going in a constant circle
Like clock work
No new paths
Just one track
The same track as always.
He likes me, he likes me not
Tick, Tock
He likes me, he likes me not
Tick, Tock.

I can still hear her
Through hushed whispers of the wind
Her voice and her laugh.

Thinking of her now
I dare not shed any tears
I hold them all in.

I can still hear her
Through the ripples of the tide
Her voice and her laugh

For I must be strong
I must act like I am fine
I’m perfectly fine.

I can still hear her
Through the rustle of the trees
Her voice and her laugh

Wishing she were here
But knowing she can’t come back
Causes me to break.

A cloud has been hanging over my head
One of dark and dreadful traits
I thought that I was happy now
But sadness my subconscious creates.

Everything was going great
Now something is going wrong
And though I’ve always been told that life is short
It’s never felt so long.

So many feelings are coming back
And I don’t know what to do
I just want to push all these feelings away
But that’s hard when they’re pulling you.

I’m not sure if you’ll hear this
But I really need you now.
I’m lost in thoughts, with no way out
And I think that you could help.
I’m not sure which way’s up
Because I just keep falling down.
With no more comforting thoughts
I have began to forget myself.
I am going down a path
A path that many have grown to hate.
How much more of this can I bear?
How much more until I break?
I really hope that you are listening
So that this wasn’t pointless to say.
But maybe that’s asking too much
Maybe I’ll just fade away.

— The End —
