Three seconds and I'm gone
I don't want to be the only one
That you've ever had the chance to open your eyes to in the night
If it were meant to be
I feel like you and me would be we
And the nights that go on forever wouldn't feel so alone
But here I am
And there you are
Alone
I don't want to be the last one home
I can't stand to keep you waiting
If I'm the only thing you love,
Why wont you open up your eyes
And if you'll scream at me
For every time I try to be there
Wondering how you are and if you're still feeling so alone
I've tried and tried again,
But right here just can't possibly be home
Now if you hear these words
They might sound absurd
Hell, they sound crazy, maybe stupid
Not even I know what they mean
But I'm here, right now
Wondering what it is I fear inside
I think I might just be the man I beat up when I cry
And here I am
And there you are...
Alone
I don't want to be the last one home
I can't stand to keep you waiting
If I'm the only thing you love,
Why wont you open up your eyes
And if you'll scream at me
For every time I try to be there
Wondering how you are and if you're still feeling so alone
I've tried and tried again,
But right here just can't possibly be home
I have tried
To sort it out
To give it life
To treat it right
I have tried
To figure out
Where the story goes
From here, nobody knows
I have laughed
And I have smiled
I've had the time of my life
Could it be I was in denial?
I just don't know
Where the highway goes
Constantly in and under construction
Every turn constantly changing
When will it stop?
When will it end?
I like the poem...very deep....she'll open her eyes when she's ready...when the time's right...... in the author notes you wrote : I feel like the time to start a new chapter of my life is coming soon, Just a little scared. well you shouldn't be scared, that new chapter that'll open will help shape who you are...like somehow i'm becoming a redneck and i used to down rednecks basically, and becoming one is like a new chapter for me, but i'm allowing it to happen and not gonna be afraid cuz i know if i become a redneck then that's who i'm suppose to be.....or you can look at it this way, i used to cut myself and though there's still scars that may bother me and may be a mistake, but i don't regret it cuz it's helped me become who i am...it shaped me into who i am...it's made me stronger physically.....and made me more understanding.....never be afraid to open a new chapter in life..cuz it's gonnna help shape who you are.
