Remember that one,
autumn when you
thought you lost
it all?

Your heart was
in the worst,
state it has
ever been

A drug-filled
binge that
took you for
a never-ending

Ride.

You broke down,
and then your
heart broke in
two.

Because you saw
it was
the end of me
and you.

You clutched
the photos
close to your chest

Because you
couldnโ€™t hang on
to what has been.

You felt lost inside,
and you couldnโ€™t
control the downward
spiral

You trapped
yourself in.

Now one year
after and youโ€™ve
let go of false
hopes and illusions.

Scared and
afraid to make
changes and leap

Into the arms of
another soul
again.

Remember that one,
October when you

Thought you lost
it all?

You havenโ€™t hit rock bottom
and I know it feels
like you lost it all.

Keep your head up, kid.

Stand tall.
