Truth is, I was not of comfort.
This temporary joy, worth more than me.
People that would likely leave,
ended what we might have been.

That, I find truly sad,
my star, I hope you remember,
I was thrown for as little as that.
Remember I wasn’t just a breath to pass,
I was the only beat that could ever last.

Though, it’s all in past,
the shadow that it’s cast,
makes it hard for me, not to ask,
Was it worth the future that we had?

Was it worth, every restless night,
where I sought God,
but he just proved me right?
Was it worth, the soul that once shined bright?

I knew, the worth of your soul,
that’s why I stayed at your door.
Though, I wish for one thing, before I fall,
for you to not have closed it at all.

For there was so much to see and explore.
We were hand in hand, climbing each floor,
content with the world and all that it holds,
but somewhere, at some point, you let go.

I won’t stop until I’ve searched the globe.
Until my soul can be at ease.
For every time I look your way,
I pray, the flames just let me breathe.

I haven’t been able to, in such a long time,
my lungs, they yearn I wasn’t their mind.
It is so unfair, that the biggest crime ever done to me,
came from someone that loved me supposedly.

As it all seems so unreal,
a nightmare I wish to end.
Wake up where we both believe,
before when we were friends.

But here I am, after all the years,
I was, in the name of you.
Strangers, brings me down to tears,
for it doesn’t seem so true.

You were so cruel,
for although you knew,
this life was better off without me,
you could have left without igniting,
that agonizing inferno within my soul.

So I’m forced to let go,
my pride begs and I know,
we both have lost too much.
I’ll be, though it’s slow,
when I’m weak, or I soar,
but you lost much more, in me.

At least I was always true, both to me and to you.

I fought.
I lost.
