Breathe Anew

Playing the game of love and hate
Attempting to make a clean slate
Heightening emotions, daily fun turning in to nightly fears
Saddening eyes, glistening with tears
Fall'ing drowning in the cold downpour

Falsely reacting to that predetermined Hour
Stop thinking like a withering flower
I gave the warning, look for the old heed
Done has been the Deed
Thinking alone, left to slowly bleed

Breathe, the new fresh air
Do something else to find what cares
Control the urges, you have done nothing wrong
Stop singing the guilty song

Leaves continue to fall, time goes onn
Wounds become scars, scars become memories forgotten,
Time goes onn
