One day they're going to forget about you.
They're going to move on.
One day they're going to disappear.
They're going to be long gone.

One day they're going to be with someone else.
They're going to start a family.
One day they're going to have everything.
They're going to be happy.

One day they're going to sit and think.
They're going to be listening to music in their car.
One day they're going to hear your favorite song.
They're going to wonder where you are.

One day they're going to see that the lyrics finally make sense.
They're going to think they should have noticed before.
One day they're going to see the connection.
They're going to realize you're the one they're meant for.

One day they're going to have sadness growing in their hearts.
They're going to try and blame fate.
One day they're going to feel the pain.
They're going to be already far too late.

Pounding on the rib cage
Of this long lifeless love
No defibrillator
Can bring its spark back home

Dying by the minute
Point of no return
Long ago we killed it
By jealousy and scorn

Poisoned by corruption
Tortured by mistrust
Consented to death sentence
Inside our comfort zone

Trapped into this bedroom
The sheets turned icy cold
The levels of desire
Reminisce the North Pole

We lingered within four walls
Just not to be alone
Reminding us each hour
Where did it all go wrong?

The hostile winds are howling
This ship cannot be steered
Let’s sink it to the bottom
For once let’s be sincere

If we cut wide and open
The corpse of this dead love
We may not find a thing
That was worth fighting for

You’d like to do postmortem
Why don’t just let it go?
You might not like the causes
That killed this long dead love.
I blame you for my unhappiness
And you blame me for everything else
I´ve been living with a hole in my chest
and a head ringing with all the warning bells

Once you let go everyone thinks you didn´t try
They call me a monster for breaking up a home
But calling that house a home would have been a lie
I tried to wait until the children were grown

I once knew what it felt like to love you
Or we wouldn't be in this situation now
If those moments are possible to get back to
Would you please show me how

The foundation is wrecked and I´m on bare ground
People I trusted turned their backs on me
On different sides, but I miss having you to hold around
It hurts to be with you and it hurts to be free

I have been carrying this around for so long
You act like I'm someone you've never known
So desperately I´ve told myself I was wrong
But we have been so lonely even when we're not alone

I blame you for my unhappiness
And you blame me for letting go
I told the children this was for the best
Even if right now it's too early to know

The blue bird of happiness on my windowsill did sit
Singing me songs of sweet regret
But he doesn't know what it feels like to be blue
He's always happy, but slightly subdued
He only greets the sunshine
He's never tasted pain like mine

The blue bird of happiness hides from the rain
He can pretend it never came
We are quite different that bird and I
For I will never be allowed to touch the sky
The rain is my redemption
While the sun is he's deception
For happiness I know is just an illusion
He is lost in the confusion
I tattooed her name onto my arm
but it wasn't a normal tattoo
this tattoo was filled with rusty razors, whiskey,
and dried blood....
Hurt by so many actions so many words
Without the explanation
Without the caring and the love
Without the caressing of love
The depression of being unloved
Confused by the wrong ones
Given my all including my sleep
Delivering such nutrients to you
Receiving agony pain from you
Can't take another inch of pain
Of a tear
Of a ache
Of a heart break
While me myself sit with sadness
While you are awake with happiness

Oh the heat in this bland desert
Does it ever stop?
The glaring sun heating up the sky
Waiting till you drop

I come from a cold place
Where it always rains
You can taste the moist cool air
See the blueness in my veins?

I was not made for the heat
I was made for the cold
So if you put me in the sun
Forgive me if I’m bold

I hate it here, is that clear
I want to go home
Where the water runs, always fun
Laughing as it goes

Always
faithful
to
the
wrong
person.

When will I learn my lesson?
Maddy Van Buren Oct 2015
I am a fair skinned insecurity
who was bent by a boy
and broken by another
and now you,
lay flowers at my feet
asking me, how to make it better?
but I don't really think
after all those endless aches
and drunken lustings
for him and for him
it really does
get better
