And the Pendulum Swings


Yesterday I missed you when I felt weak 

Before morning’s break of day when I awoke 

Recalling times we had so many stories to speak 

When we would laugh and share a joke 

When each other’s attention was all we’d seek 

When smiles were easy with each word we spoke 

 

Now time just passes, 

And the pendulum swings... 

 

Today I cried for the grief that I feel 

Over how you’ve hidden again without a sound 

I ponder if our connection was ever real 

I wonder how you feel without me around 

And I wish you peace but now I must heal 

This pain breaks my spirit in ways so profound 

 

Now time just passes,  

And the pendulum swings... 

 

Tomorrow the distance will be longer and lighter 

And the constant battle between my head and my soul 

Will only strengthen me because I am a fighter 

I will patch my heart where you left a hole 

And each day that passes will only get brighter 

As I let go of you to make myself whole
