Stretched Oven An Ocean.

The feeling of emptiness is all that is left with memories of I love yous and forget me
nots an ocean now resides between our touch but maybe that is just a little too much.

 

Building foundations that I know one day will fall but never thinking this is could be the
downfall of us chasing' nothing is what I do best because I am good at misjudging the
length of this gap.

 

No sympathy I cant find it for myself this was bound to happen no matter what I tell
myself this isn't the place where I keep my head but I can't keep my shots from hitting
the ground.

 

holding my breath as I wait patently as everyone knows this will consume my soul so
blinded by stupidity that I can break abruptly everyone sees this as a non just play.

 

As the door I opened shuts in my face I begin to wonder why I sought this out because I
knew one day she will sail away these sorrows I can't keep to my self.

 

As I weep for a love that isn't there, a heart cant keep beating and trusting if stretched
over two continents

 

 I knew one day she would sail away with my dreams but still I let her hold on to them for
safe keeping?
