Saying Goodbye To An Ex

I wish I could show you how I feel in my heart 

And how much inside this tears me apart

I wish that I could make my heart unbreak

And wish you loved me and all this a mistake

I can’t make you feel something you don’t feel

And it brings the question was anything real

So you feel nothing and say that you tried?

Smiles only visible with no feeling inside?

Nothing felt when your tears have been cried?

Or is it pain that you feel for me

Tears shed for mere sympathy

Don’t cry for me cause I will be fine

All I ever wanted was your heart to be mine

For some reason that doesn’t seem it can be

I can’t believe that it has to do with me

I tortured myself wondering what I did wrong

And I realized it was nothing you just want to be gone

Maybe its that you’re not ready for something like this

And the only thing I’m left with is you to miss

Dying to hold you or get one last kiss

Destroyed that things have played out like this

I don’t think I won’t be missed

And at another point in your life you might be pissed

That you let go of something so true

And someone that completely loved you

Gave you everything they were and aspired to be

And you let it go for uncertainty

But you’re unhappy and not in love which I understand

And I know this is something that you didn’t have planned

I wish I could change that somehow and fix my flipped lid

And think one day you’ll realize you loved me more than you did

Maybe that something that started one day out of thin space

Was meant for a different time and place

I’m sorry the most that I have to see you go

I will always love you more than you know

Life

Two paths at the end of one I believe to be light,
But filled with thorns and the darkest of night,
Path unchosen the unknown,
Whats the true measure of how ones grown,
Is it the choices they make,
The path that they left or the one that they take,
The strength of the individual and how they wont break,
Or the experiences left behind in their wake,
If I go the other path Ill always wonder what it is that I lost,
And if the decision was worth the cost,
But a saving grace for myself so my heart wouldn't frost,
Walking a line I shouldn't have crossed,
Not my fault but something that was forced,
Why is it the hardest choices you find,
Often divide the heart and the mind,
Both conflicted on which path to take,
Is one trying to save the other from making a mistake,
One knowing what is better for the other ones sake,
Shielding them from pain sure to undertake,
Cant find the answers when you don't have the questions,
Only reference is What is learned from lifes lessons,
And how they've molded and made their impressions,
From past mistakes and lifes transgressions,
Should I take my money off the table and hedge my bets,
Life is harder to live living with regrets,
Wondering if I endured a little bit more,
Would it be like forever drifting in the sea and finally finding the shore?
Funny thing in life is you never can be sure,
Whatever decision made you end up wishing you made the other one more,
Or is it overanalyzed by a sick mind for which there is no cure,
If that's the case what is it all for?

Infected

They say pain subsides,
They lie,
Soul now empty,
A part of me died,
Although you still live,
I know it's not the same to you,
Im a distant memory,
If a memory at all,
Maybe to you I never existed,
But the mark you left on me is forever,
For that I cant forgive,
It effects me daily,
And now all i'm left with,
Is this empty shell,
I appreciate it,
I really do,

Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,

All the memories they served me well,
To break my sanity,
My minds personal hell,
My soul tortured,
My perception changed,
And left with nothing,
Dont know which way to go,
Or if I should move at all,
Paralyzed in thought,
Inability to move,
I try,
My body isnt responding,
And Im left wondering,

Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,

It's been a while,
Still not the same,
But I manage to crack a smile,
You didn't destroy me it made me stronger,
And I had to move on couldn't linger any longer,
Time passes but wounds dont heal,
They turn to scars,
Remanants of pain endured,
A constant reminder,
Of what you put me through,
Lifes lessons come at a cost,
Another love lost,
My heart has started to frost,
Due to the coldness that was you.

Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,

Haunted

In this life,
We all have our place,
Our happiness our bitter taste,
As we go on,
Individually,
Lifes path cross,
And maybe,
You weren't destined to save me,
I remain lost,
Destiny unfilled,
Time cost,
Now on separate paths,
That once crossed,

Through lifes lessons and all its taught me,
Ive moved onnnnnnn,
But you still haunt me,
My presence reflects my past,
Even the best things just don't last,
Ive moved onnnnnn,
Yet it still taunts me,
And you still haunt me


Cant change things,
Even if I could,
You're gone,
And it's understood,
Some things aren't meant to be,
Unfortunately,
But I served purpose,
You did as well,
We might not have understood why,
But it's not for us to determine lifes plan,
Just to live it but,

Through lifes lessons and all its taught me,
I've moved onnnnnnn,
But you still haunt me,
My presence reflects my past,
Even the best things just don't last,
I've moved onnnnnn,
Yet it still taunts me,
And you still haunt me


Sometimes is it better to forget,
To ease the pain perhaps,
Just let time heal the wounds,
But the memories I carry with me,
And ill never let go,
It served purpose,
If for nothing else to help me grow,
Things affect people differently,
And you might not understand,
But thank you
Even if i wasn't a part of your plan
