Grieve

Being lost in grieve is the 
Loneliest place on earth
The days are dark and the
Nights are darker
it's the kind of heartache
You feel deep in your soul
You will never get over it
But you will learn to live with it
The world will keep turning
And life will go on
Some days will be better than others
But eventually the clouds will pass
And the sun will come out
And the world won't seem so dark anymore.

Passion

You loved me for little 
Who could not love me long
You gave me wings of gold 
And let me spirit sing
You loved me for an hour
But only with your eyes
Your lips i could not capture
By storm or by surprise
Out this world of darkness
Suddenly i am sad 
Day and night it haunts
Me the kiss i never had

Pretend

Pretend

We pretend thats what we do
We pretend you never hurt me
We pretend i never left
Pretend there's more to our
Relationship than all the shots
We've missed. So we kiss
each other senseless
Because we have no senses left
We wish so badly this could go
Back to normal this is all like
a moving train passing through
Never stopping at the place
You need to get off at.
But i will savor the moment
Here with you now, because i am
Just so tired of being sad
Of having to pretend i am okay
Without you.
So we pretend we don't think
About the things we did to each other
Pretend we'll be okay.
Maybe one day we'll pretend so
hard we will be.
