The First Time
I remember the first time you told me,
Im never gonna leave you.
Back then I thought it meant something else, now its all so clear.
These wounds you left stay inside,
Where the darker things in me like to hide.
These rips aren’t one the outside,
They tend to stay away from the casual eye.
It started out innocently enough,
Day dreams to reality, reality was always dreamlike around you,
Then things we did, the things we said,
Made me feel things I had never even imagined before.
This was all before it feel right through the floor.
Everything is different now, but somethings never change.
Still, you make me feel things ive never felt before,
But now, the happiness eats at my soul,
The joy tears at my heart.
For your sake, you played the part.
Just like an actor about to win an emmy,
You accept the applause with all your heart.
Taking a look back at me, I can see it in those eyes,
When you told me you would never leave me for some reason I believed it,
Call it naïve, call in pointless,
Little did I know how fast you would leave me,
Alone, scared and cold,
Little did I realize how long your lingering soul would haunt me.
