I Cannot Quit
The pain that I have hid
In my heart’s deepest oceans,
You drained
With your openness to me
Yet, you decided it would be ok
To let it all go, for your heart is an ocean
Deeper than my empty poetry could ever drain.
You still love him, and I know
I understand, I see it clearly
When you talk about him
It's like he is me.
It's like you're looking into his eyes
And I am no longer anything
Anything in that room
But a reflection I see in your eyes.
Fuck You,
I care so much
I want the best for you
I fell in love, in no time with you
I fell in love with your voice, your strength, and your pains
Bring them to me
Bring me your pains
And I will try to heal you
Fuck You,
You'll never let me in
And my heart continues to break
Because of you
Still,
I love you
You’re my reason to be
My reason to soar
My hearts to reason to believe - in the world
You have the smile that I cannot see
Without pain flowing through
All of my veins and arteries
And how can I forget you
When your name is everywhere?
The strum of a guitar
A gust of air
The tap of the foot
A ballad of a piano
They all say your name, they all say it loud
Its either that's how they have designed them
Or my mind has forced my ears
To recreate them
For every sound I hear
Is one that pushes me to anger
To remember that you don’t want me
To remember the pain that our relationship has brought me
And you have no idea, for I will not tell you
I will never make you feel guilty
Because I love you
How do I know?
I love you, because when you
Smile, I smile
When you laugh, I laugh
When you cry, I cry
When you’re angry, I am too
Regardless of reason I follow you!
Because all I need to be happy is joy
Joy to come out of you
I cannot quit.
