You held my hand and walked me into a new life
I was broken, bored and messed up out there
Couldn’t hold shit together
You held my hand
Walked with me and taught me what love meant
We lived wild and free
But how could you?
How could you?
How could you bandage my wounds only to open them up again?
How could you walk away when I was only grasping how to live this life?
How could you pull the rug when I was only getting used to being loved?
How could you leave?
The nights I’ve spent thinking about you only brought pain
Now, I just want to siphon love out of my vessels
Its sad that we have to become another set of strangers in the street
But holding on to you is like walking a tightrope
It takes every ounce of hope out of my grips
And the tears? The tears bring me no respite
So today,
I
Smile
Because
All the tears
Never washed away the pain
