My Love Life

What if I told you
I'm glad you let me go
I got all the wrong answers
To all the things I needed to know

So what if I said to you
I wish we never met
On my end
Its the greatest understatement

So what if I forgot you
As if you were in a past life
Wouldn't matter if you noticed
Especially since you already asked another...
to be your wife

So what if I told you
Nothing will hurt more,
And for that I am grateful.
So now I can rightfully so
Due to circumstances led by you
Let the love of my life go.

An Edgy Goodbye

An Edgy Goodbye

I could use your concentration
Just this one time relation
This drink only lets the edge go
But as to the rest, well...no

I dont think its okay to be this way
I dont know how long this will last
But id like to know asap
How to make it become the past

Been trying to play it smart
And just think im having a shortage of sugar
But no matter the cure
It dont work fast enough
It dotn make it come soon enough
For me to say "finally no more"

And i think my other half thinks me boring
But i got a lot of lazy things to do
I got many books i need to read, and he isnt near anymore
I feel like he forgot to give me the same key
As he walked through some 'never to return' door

Coping Hourly

"Coping Hourly"
By Adrea Sherman

I've been stolen and sorely borrowed
My sunshines been dimmed and hollowed
The 'taken for granted' days were easy
Just cause I let it sink deep deep within...
dont mean dealing has been easy

And I tried
All I did was try
Took beyond courage
To look you in the eye
You were my strength
That brought me down
You let our love turn to ash
Making sense as much
As an invisible car crash

I've been stripped but liked it
I've been taken but enjoyed it
But this, it was too much
You don't regret it
And yet made it so I do
My life was good for awhile
But my heart wishes I never met you
And this is beyond cliché
But in an unimaginable way
To be told by the one you love
That you need to get over the one you love
Its more like coping hourly...
not day by day

And I tried
All I did was try
Took beyond courage
To look you in the eye
You were my strength
That brought me down
You let our love turn to ash
Making sense as much
As an invisible car crash

Long Long Time

I was going to be there for a long long time
Or at least until you said Goodbye
Beyond hurts, "hurt" don't even begin
How the devil so easily and quickly came out of my main friend

And you set me free
By making me feel like I was in chains
I started to lift your fog
And learned to use my brains

Then I realized it was my heart speaking
That my mind didn't belong anywhere
The feelings are the language of the soul
Now for that, even over true love, I began to care

And so many things are being given
My Lord's presents almost daily I've been receiving
You looked like an open door, but this whole time was just a small crack
It took too long to know, but at least in getting to see the truth now I don't lack

There are so many things that I don't care about
That are all other people see
There are so many things that have sunken into the side of my heart
Forever to remain and just be

The good things are now clinging to me
Without me having to put them on weird chains to stay
I learned its what I don't have to do, not what I do have to do
I just let go, gave it to Him, and said to anything and everything just "Okay"

The simple things are where the Gold is at
You don't see it until you learn to accept
I was holding onto what I thought mattered most
Only to see it was taking up extra space & I should've never kept
