Glory Days

Waited patiently for you Hold up, I think this is true… Feeling like I’m losing my pride Something in me, again, has died Going crazy, so back track to our good times…rusting like ancient dimes I spent my days in a sugar-coated gaze while committing selfish crimes Step up to the ceiling of your rebellious, envious limitations Let your egotistical conceit fade away along with your doubts Face your fears with all your might with brave-like sensations Lost myself in the current of confusion as I heard your shouts I felt your words beneath me, trust me already It rose me up so good, too good to be real… I heard your sighs and complaints of plenty Just lift your head above the surface as hopeful sunsets reveal Incredible intimacy illuminated my soul of isolation I tried to explain the reason I couldn’t go on without you Unstable and under pressure, churning in desolation I cried streams of lament for your sake, an act I can’t undo Hesitantly, my heart thumps in solitude's city of corruptible lies Unfortunately, I must desert this stagnant dilemma and your late replies You ghosted me, yeah, so don’t deny it… That really hurt my feelings I must admit Your love can’t replace anxiety that kills me slowly Your love can’t determine my fate and future, you see? Hope you know I won’t be treated like your house elf anymore Watch me fixatedly as I make my way towards the front door Your love was poisonous pollution to my lungs and cancer to my body Death and life collide into me like the shadows of the night, devouring positivity I saved some of your voice messages on my phone Or was it all in my mind of unforgotten memories? I don’t remember, so just leave me alone…I sadly moan… It doesn’t seem right – the way you treated me, far from at ease Nothing can mend me…I’m the loner label, oh, the loner label Forgiveness remains regret and a so-called friend so unreliable Our love was only found in fables, neglected on an unstable table You were valuable until you hurt me, making me somewhat irritable Back track to the past That skips away so fast Time ticks tremendously, but you cared about me unlike most men and women Hurry up already and please… please make me simply smile like you did back then You brought radiant light into my life Until you made company with strife Misunderstood, But it’s all good It’s not like it matters to anyone in particular Will this near future of ours be a forever blur? Turn things around, you hopeless hound Constant stress spins me round and round You put me on a thousand hardships I miss the passion touching of our lips Take a dip into what I treasure In the past, in the past when it was easy to endure The guilt trips that tried to weigh us way down No need to frown, for we wear the glory days' crown That was when we were cheerful, joyous individuals Without a care…without worries that play us the fools Waited patiently for you… A long-suffering so true
