Dear 4-year love,
The day I met you
Little did I know,
I was damned
From the start
The day I met you
Was meant to be
Another unsatisfying day
That is until I laid my eyes on you
Everything people said.Everything they did.All of it was true in some way.“Until it happens to you you won't know how I feel.”I get it nowWhy they say “you have a heavy heart”Now that it's happened to meIt feels like I'm falling and will never get
It's been a while since you moved away...
If there was a time I'd wish to have back
It would be the year before you left
I didn't realize how much you mattered to me
Until you were gone
And even when you went
As I lay down to sleep
I feel his dark shadow cross my mind
His fedora tilted low upon his face
A black suit and long cape his trademark.
He smiles softly.
Your birthday's on the clock is teasing me
Should I have let you leave?
Come back if you care
God please lead me to where I need to be
I trust that you or who will be with me
Trapped by hands of desire.
Stuck with cries from my own body.
Trapped in a ring of fire.
Wrapped around me is barbed wire...
And it's beginning to tighten painfully.
