The Struggle

There was a time in my life where you were my everything.
Angels with one half wing and the other just a little too beaten.
Cheery hellos and tearful goodbyes could never get me.
I couldn't stay where the hatred would force itself to the outside.

This isn't like myself, I don't do this.

People of my past told me there's a time and place for all things.
You caught me at the wrong time, in a place I didn't want to be.
The sun rose and set with your name in a whisper,
dawn and dusk came and went with your face still with me.

I...can't... love you again.

A point where love becomes sacrifice, sacrifice becomes desperation.
Desperation told me to let you go, each day I kept falling more.
With dreams reoccuring of your love I never felt was for me,
I decided to leave, against the will of myself and yours.

Why did you let me do this...

There was a time in my life where you were my everything.
Tears on my pillow froze and cracked as ice.
A heart not quite broken struggles holding up the other half.
With half pleasant sighs and smiles so forced they bleed,

I left you, and it's killing me inside.
