After weeks of being separated,
I still lay here contemplating,
Why I can’t be the one….
…and though life goes on around me,
I stand still within that stare,
full of tears and hard apologies,
as I was forced to walk away
from all I loved so tenderly….
leaving behind a trail of my shattered heart.

Now tissues are littered everywhere,
piling up upon the floor,
they bury pictures of you and me,
that no longer make me smile…
…and the candy wrappers scatter,
When I roll over to sleep, to cry,
or when I watch the shadows dance
into the darkness of the night,
bringing me back to my loneliness.

They say time can make things better,
But I did not fall for time,
I broke concrete when you let me go,
I crash landed in the ground…
Your surprises always touched me,
but to choke me, I wouldn’t believe,
that’s what I get for falling quickly,
and trusting that you would catch me,
saving me from myself.

I know that I don’t weep alone,
I know that you weep too,
Why can’t we do this together…
like we used to do?
I’m crowded by tear-drenched teddy bears,
they can’t console me like you do,
I could really use the company,
I could use someone like you.
Please grace me with your presence one more time…
