The weight of pain..

These knees of mine come crashing down
I find myself alone
kneeling on an empty street floor...
beads of rain now come gravitating towards my body.
I close my tired eyes..and time stands still
memories of you come flooding my mind
I traced the memory of your kind laughter
thinking it would lead me back to you.
Instead I lost my way and wound up tasting your sorrow
(Now your gone)
You should be the one embracing me
instead the cold rain is suffocating me
I let out a sigh and look down..
The light reflects off the wet pavement
revealing an image of the happiness we shared
as reality settles in..
the tears begin to fall
(Now your gone)
I thought this heart could carry the burden of pain on it's shoulders
but it's weight ended up crushing the fragile veins
This outcome seems fitting
but who would've have known
Who would've known this would be the price of my pride?
(Now your gone..)
God knows I'd gather up all my mistakes
one by one ...
until my hands bled from picking up all the sharp edges..
I'd lock my pride into a vault and watch it sink to the ocean floor
(Just to hear your voice once more)
I'd write all of my selfishness onto paper and watch it burn..
(Just to protect your hopes & dreams)
I'd engrave everything I took for granted onto glass and let it come crashing down
(So that I can turn back to a time when you held me lovingly)
This silence is overwhelming
and loneliness is a word that has become my acquaintance
but I don't want it's company..
I only want you to hold my hand tightly once more
Whisper to me words of comfort
because I don't want to face reality
even though deep inside..I know
I know these prayers will go unanswered
(Because time won't return , and..well, now your gone)
I want to cry out your name into the wind
perhaps our hearts would connect
but it seems time is not in my favor
the unforgiving wind won't carry this voice
it will only carry with it my pain..my regret
I was naive to think that I could play with the hands of time..
With my sweat and tears I tried turning back the hands of time
only to have them break into pieces
I'm growing tired of this fight against time
I'll try letting go...
I've been too selfish in wanting to have you by my side once again
So if my final wish can be granted,
I'd make a wish that life paints you a smile
an innocent smile like the one you had before I damaged you
If I can be selfish once more..
I just want you to know that because of you I was able to experience true love
With my final breath,
more than anything I want to express to you
that I miss you soo much...
(but now I'm gone)

| A real rollercoaster of emotion. Remember spelling "you're" instead of "your" in "now you're gone." |
