Rose-Tinted Glasses

Contributed by cocacola1331 on Saturday, 20th November 2004 @ 06:43:32 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief



I used to look at the
world through rose-tinted glasses...
but now I'm blind.

Where is my sight?
My vision,
my hope,
my love?
It's gone,
along with sunny happiness...

Some people tell me to
let go...
Let go of what?
Let go of my sorrow?
My depression?
They tell me to be happy....
How, how am I going to
forget about all of this?

Maybe I should
let go,
let go of myself.
Give up all control....

I used to look at life
through rose-tinted glasses.
Everything was so
perfect,
so wonderful...
I had everything
anyone could dream of,
and now,
look at me now...

I'm blind
without vision...
can't you give me my sight back?
Can't you make me see
the point of life again?

No longer am I the
perfect girl
you might have thought I was....
No longer am I the
girl with the great life,
the great family...
No longer do I have
that perfect life....

I'm all alone in this world,
nothing can save me
from myself....
I'm a burden to you,
I'm a burden to him,
I'm a burden to everyone....
Nobody wants to
hear something so depressing all
the time...
They think that if they just
avoid the subject about her
everything
will be okay.
Those rose-tinted glasses?
They've been long broken...
Snapped in half
upon her leaving the world,
leaving my life....

Nobody can change my
life,
nobody can bring
back the rose-tinted glasses...

Nobody is going to
bother.

Nobody knows what to say
to me,
they're all just so uncomfortable...
So they pretend its all not happening,
in denial....
Don't they ever think I want to talk about it?
Don't they understand?
Don't they understand that I just
want a shoulder
to cry on.
I just want
a shoulder to cry on.
I just want
somebody to always be
there for me...

Right now
I don't have anybody
that understands me,
nobody that I can call in the middle
of the night and just cry to,
cry my heart out.
Nobody to understand my pain...

Everybody just thinks
that I need to let go,
let go of everything.
But don't they know the loss that I have?
But don't they know the pain I'm
undergoing?
It's so excruciating,
it feels like death itself.

It feels like death itself...

So painful,
like I lost everything,
maybe its because I did...
I lost her,
lost her to the underworld....

Don't you ever wonder
what I'm thinking?
Don't you ever wonder
what's going through my mind?
Why I'm so quiet now?
Why I'm so different now?

I'm no longer into
all that materialistic things
like I used to be...
I'm more mature now,
because she's gone.

Because she's gone.

I just want
the world
to understand my pain.
And to care about me,
and forget about fame....
Why does the world
have to be so materialistic?

Sometimes I wonder
what would happen if I let
go of my control....
and suddenly disappeared.

I wonder what everybody
would do
if I were gone...

Would there be confusion,
would there be sadness?

If I told a few friends good-bye,
forever...
Would they realize what would happen?
Would they realize that I meant it?
That I would leave the world?

How many people would I effect?
Would I make the news?
Would I even be missed at all?
Would people be touched by my
passing?

I wonder if my leaving
would be everywhere,
I wonder if people would be sad,
or if anyone would be
effected....
I feel like a burden to you.
I feel like a burden to him...
I feel like a burden to everybody.

If it weren't for me,
maybe things would be easier to deal with.
If it weren't for me,
you could go on with your life so
much easier.

Why am I such a burden to you?
All I'm doing is breathing,
living or trying to.
Maybe I should lift you of this burden -
take the weight off your shoulders
and just leave.

How will I go?
There are so many ways...
but all that I know
is that I'm going to see her
again.

I'm going to be with her again,
be able to make up for all this
time where I
haven't talked
to her or seen her....

This is my deathwish...
I want to be remembered;
not forgotten...
And here I give you
a set of rose-tinted glasses
to carry on with life,
but be happy....
Life without me
will be so much simpler.
I'm just a burden....

Those wishes...
Those wishes of mine
will never happen...
I know that wishes
never come true....

Because if they did,
she'd be alive...
She'd be breathing,
sitting right next to me,
or giving me a hug.

It's so hard to believe that
she's gone.
It's so hard to believe that
I didn't even get to say good bye.
So now,
I'm going to let go.
Let go so I can see her again.

I'm blind right now,
where is my vision?
Where is my hope?
It's all gone...


I'll drift away,
I'll drift away slowly,
and when I get
to my destination,
I'll be expecting you....

I'll be waiting,
silently,
patiently
waiting....

Let go....
Let go of everything....
Lift the burden off of the shoulders....
Let go....

I'll be waiting....
Waiting with
rose-tinted glasses.

truthfully, I didn't read it all. It was repetative and loooong.

I got to here: I wonder if my leaving
would be everywhere,
I wonder if people would be sad,
or if anyone would be
effected....
I feel like a burden to you.
I feel like a burden to him...
I feel like a burden to everybody.

If it weren't for me,
maybe things would be easier to deal with.

Then it just seemed..like a re-hash of the same..
I'm not usually so blunt. I usually put..good write or something..but today I've decided to stop doing that. I hope you don't mind the truth. If it were half as long it would get high marks..I don't suppose you care anyway so what's the point of me writing anything?
