Lets Be Alright For a While

it's funny how time walks away
I don't feel like i have that same grace today
It's like everything hurts
so much more than they say it does

It's like tuesdays no longer remember your smile 
scars are souvenirs of the loneliest child
the memory itself writes you away 
but here's to your illusions of us 

she said 
you can't replace what you've taken
as we coast 
all through these dreary moments
life becomes a place too vacant

hidden by the shadows 
make up and pure blush
sometimes you want
the whole world to hush

let me turn my head off for a while 
site back in the southern sun and smile 
reminisce on how i thought 
life would be as a child
searching for that person 
that makes life alright for a while

It's really good! The last stanza was amazing but my favorite part was " sometimes you want the whole world to hush"
