Apples

Where have they gone,
all of your memories and your dreams?
Have they become your only friendly comfort to help you sleep?
Until you wake up
and you slowly begin to realize,
That everything you hold dear to your heart
bleeds from your eyes.
It's just another day that you'll spend
hoping to find some kind of change,
but you will never find it if you're always looking for the same thing.
Doesn't it occur that its not your dissappointments that hold you down
You have lived your whole life trying to get in
and now you just want out.

You've opened your heart a thousand times
just to pick up the broken pieces,
but its only a matter of time,
You will uplift your troubled eyes.
And there you will see all that your life is worth,
beyond Gods precious skies,
It's all there for you to keep,
just don't let it pass you by...
