Forever To Be Gone, Never To Return

I sit here thinking about 
What I’m soon to do
Our past, present, and future
The things I’ll say
The things I’ll do
What I wish we would have done
And what we didn’t do
The things you’ve done 
And what you might do

You should rot in jail
But
I don’t know 
If
I can send you there

I sit here
Missing you 
Even though I’m not to

I sit here 
Loving you
Even though I’m not to

Alone In a Crowed Room

Click, click, click
I sit here
listening to the tap of keys 
I sit here 
with tears streaming down my face
I sit here
letting the pressures of my life weigh down on me
I sit here
no one sees my body tremble
I sit here
no one hears my ragged breaths
I sit here
listing to the tap of keys
I sit here 
Click, click, click
