They just weren’t you,
So I picked them apart
And threw the pieces on the floor.
If only I knew
They just weren’t you.

I was once a diamond in the rough.
I went through the dirt
And almost got stuck.
Yet I lasted the test of time.
Now watch me sparkle,
It’s my time to shine.

When you took your last breath
It’s like I took mine too
How am I supposed to live
Without you?

Dear Hansel,
Over my eyes
You pulled the wool,
I saw the magic
And my heart felt full.

But you were full of deceit
It was all a lie,
You strung me along
Then waved goodbye.

I was left all alone
Feeling numb,
Why did I follow
Those **** breadcrumbs.

I knew I had grown when:
I stopped asking
What do they think of me?
And started to question,
What do I think of them?

I sat in a pool of tears
And felt an emptiness inside,
They said it would come in waves
And I was crashing against the tides.
For losing those you love
There is no greater suffering,
But what is grief
If not love, persevering.

To you I’m too quiet
And you may think that I’m a bore,
But I chose my words carefully
And my company even more.
