Losing Sight of the Shoreline
It's been a year to date
since the day I found myself overjoyed
Now after reckless fights and confrontations
in her eyes...I thought I saw tomorrow
now all I find is wasted time
You can look for me now
stuck in the same circle
where I try to find a way to run back in time
where I try to search her face for truth
or to let myself know she was a lie
I once wished to hold her once more
but instead now I wish to never again
hear her honey tainted voice
I just can't stand to think about it
but it's all my hands can allow myself to do
while the words won't let me say anything else
Not now...not now...
March 12th,2009
Why did it have to betray me so bad
why can't I just burn the date and forget
Why am I left alone with a grieving face
under the veil of water the clouds leak
Does life really despise me so greatly
What is worse is I believe
she got over me before she had the chance to toss me away
How can I be sure, how can I be sure
I, now have fallen for her best friend
I, now am sinking with the ship
I can't face the shoreline
not again
or it will give me hope, one day I may return home
I'm hanging by a thread
losing my grip
on everything I knew to be...
to be...
to be...
to be...
...true...
