Emotions
"Everything leaves, except feelings"
"Everything leaves, except feelings"
Hope is a beautiful thing.
It keeps us sane and going.
But hope is more than that,
It’s also what makes us insane,
And do the impossible.
It makes me take the leap of faith,
But then comes the fall.
This hope is a dangerous thing,
But I choose it every time,
Because it lets me fly.
If only for a fleeting second.
It was a hot afternoon,
When you turned colder the moon.
You lay there in my palm,
As if you were a rock,
But I knew you were not.
Sucked into the void,
That wasn’t meant for you.
And so I shed my tears,
For the life that was in you,
That you lived, so soon.
I wanna run away
From my mind from my life
Just for a little while
Then I promise I’ll be back
To the merry girl I was
Basking in the sun, basking in life
But now I think I’m baked dry
All I need’s a lil shade
All I need’s a teensy break
But time ain’t gonna wait
Memories are all I have,
No way to go back.
And smile at those,
Who once were near and dear.
And tell them I loved them.
No way to laugh the laughs,
No way to joke the jokes.
No way to look at the stars again,
Lying on the soft cool grass.
No way to feel the same again.
And yet these feelings remain.
Like the flavor that lingers,
Long after it has been eaten.
Like the scars that remain,
After the wounds have healed.
Bit by bit,
Them cobwebs, they grew.
I saw them, so did you.
We comfortably quit.
We saved it for later.
Fingers pointing at each other.
Fingers through which it slipped away,
All but memories, which had to stay.
Them cobwebs are now too dense.
What’s between us is mere pretence.
I can’t see through, you can’t too.
My old friend, adieu.
