3 Tears

3 tears fall down my face

one for the past

one for the present

one for the future



the past falls down

as to tell me I was wrong to leave

I was wrong to let you bleed

I was wrong to let you slip away from me

I was the one who screwed it up

I fucked it up, now I shut up

yet still I cry



the present falls down

as to say that I am sorry

as to start another story

as to prove to myself that this is for the better

but then again I still do cry



the future falls down

as to say that I am scared

as to say I know not what to do

as to hope that I am with you

but then again, I never know

we never know where life will go

for that I am scared

and I am left crying over here

so cold and lonely over here

what do I do?

This is what happens when you think about your life and all the people effected by it

"The only thing to fear is fear itself." If you go through life afraid you're gonna screw something up, you'll never get the chance to screw it up. Dive in head first, give it everything you've got. Then, when you look back on it, you'll be able to say... I gave it everything I could, and I did my best.
