There is plenty to see
But looks like you are stuck on fantasy
Emotions floating at sea
Hiding from reality
You overdosed on insecurity
High on the feeling of uncertainty
Struggling with trust issues
It’s hard to let go of your past
So you invited it into your future
Now it takes control of your ego  
Battling with depression
your conscious robbed of tranquility
Got your emotions mixed up
you tried mixing peace with anxiety
Too blind to see that you left your heart at sea

Cold nights bright lights
High flights
Low sights
Loving out of spite
Thirst quenched drunk on ego
She held on and didn’t want to let go
Heart frozen
Numb even when loved
She forgot she was chosen
Ignoring love while chasing wild dreams

Pain
seems
to
want
to
comfort
us
sooner
than
love
does
If you are looking for love  
you won’t find it
Pain has held it hostage
It performs on an empty stage
Only the brave can watch it perform
And Appreciate
it’s worth

Chasing big dreams
While flirting with nightmares
Don’t you know that these scars
created an ocean full of tears
I drown in my own emotions
While conversing with depression
Anxiety taps me on my shoulder
While shooting down my ego
Pride it forces me to let go
Empty I feel
while holding on to the place where my heart used to go, chasing a fix
While my mentality is broken to pieces
Looking for peace while drowning in agony

Bury me
in your hopes and your expectations
I came to you looking for a connection
But you set standards my heart wasn’t anticipating
Now my emotions
are simply fading
For you I could of waited
But time doesn’t obey anyone

Not even love

I will never ask you for anything more than I ask for your (time)

Because without that I will never know what it feels like to call you (mine)

Time is precious
time is golden
time is everything when you have it
and painful when you don’t have it

You promised to never leave but you did
You promised to never stop loving me
but you did, now I sit here alone and lonely
You promised to always be by my side
But you left without even a goodbye
Was I that horrible of a lover
that you had to go find another
I wonder if he knows about me
and how much of a disaster I was
For loving you too much
needing you too much
And trying to look after your lonely heart
Cherishing you like an art piece with value

I loved you
but now I wonder if you loved you
In your lies I found your value
I found a missing soul
A broken heart, and an insecure being
I’m not here to judge you
But here to tell you
That one day love will find you and judge you
