Left
I have been lost ever since you left,
Nothing seems worth a single breath.
I am still struggling every single day,
My heart cannot bear the thought that you have gone away.
If there is one wish I could wish right now
It would be to be in your arms somehow.
To claim your love and win your heart,
To lay down my life in promise never to part.
But I am not a child, I cannot wish this wish
I cannot renew something that is finished.
I cannot live in the past, go back to where I loved you
For in real life you cannot fake what is not true.
Though I can find a hundred reasons for us to be,
It took only one for you to leave me.
One to turn your back and walk away,
How could I compete with that to make you stay.
So here I am still going on each day
Life does not stop for one person’s sorrow, you used to say.
Somehow it has, I am trapped in the pain you gave me
Wondering how long it will take for me to finally be set free.
