The selfish part of me
Wants to be the one
To save you
But I know
That's not the way
I can't light up all your shadows
Because sometimes
Darkness traps me too

The glass was always half empty, till she came along and filled it up.
Now the glass is half full, but she's not here to share it with me

Oh please don't go, I can't do this
Oh please don't let that be our last kiss
Oh please don't go, I still love you
Oh please don't be just someone I knew
Oh please, don't say goodbye
Oh please, don't leave me here to die...

Tonight she saw the marks
My wrist's burning red arcs
and when she asked why they were there
she caught my defenses, open and bare
I almost told her of the reasons why
but instead I let out a sigh
My lips grazing, her soft warm cheek
as round her waist, my arms did sneak
burying questions with one more kiss
silencing thoughts, with a moment of bliss

Her eyes shining, like burning stars
Idle chat about this future of ours
The soft sweet voice, of my next mistake
Has now got me, tempting fate
A simple kiss of burning desire
I'd say it feels wrong, but I'd be a liar
I check my phone, and it's her number I dial
She greets each text, with a soft warm smile
Now I'm not sayings she's set my heart alight
I'm merely implying, this all feels right

Why do I keep writing these day after day
if you're never going to read them anyway?

Because I'm still in love, with you my dear
and I can't accept that my worst fear
actually happened and you are gone
happy now, and fully moved on

There's nothing in my power, to change this in any way
But I loved you when left and I love you to this day
Maybe you won't ignore me forever and one day we will talk
And I'll get my goodbye, one last kiss and that walk
Or perhaps I'll never again hear your sweet, sweet voice
and in the end I guess that's up to you, in the end it is your choice
