Please take me back
To when I couldn't feel
When tears didn't hurt,
And pain wasn't real.
My mind didn't linger,
And I didn't cry.
Please take me back,
To before you said goodbye.
I thought I'd found refuge,
But it didn't last long.
In anothers arms,
It just felt so wrong.
He held me through the night,
And talked me through tears.
But now I think that was all,
Just a few too many beers.
He isn't the same,
And now I'm missing you more.
Cause the alcohol and drugs,
Don't work like before.
They can't hide the hurt,
And they don't ease my cries.
They stopped helping me forget,
How I got lost in your eyes.
I lay awake at night,
Lost in a world my own.
I imagine you're holding me,
So I'll forget I'm alone.
I remember your kiss,
And I can almost hear
You whispering again,
"I Love You" in my ear.
Drifting to sleep,
Your all I can see.
Then I look up,
And it's only me.
I'm having a hard time,
I'm trying to let go.
My tired mind says yes,
But my broken heart says no.
Author notes
...I've been thinking about different people in my life, and how things used to be and how they've changed and it kills me inside. My best friends voice used to be the only thing I wanted to hear when I was down, he helped me through so much and I helped him too, and he promised our relationship would never change, but it has...he stopped drinking as much, and met more people so now I guess I'm just not as important to him...and my mind wanders back to my ex-boyfriend. I try and try, but my heart just won't let him go...
