Another day, another trip down memory lane
or should I say, a narrow path to loneliness
It’s only been a couple of years
yet, it feels like yesterday
You can’t frown at a prolonged heartbreak,
when healing is delayed
These sad songs have long been overplayed
but, every day has been the same day
since the first day my heart became a deserted place
Images of the past when you were the vibrance in my day,
an impression that lasts forever, replays
It’s hard to hit delete or scratch away,
when you’re kinda like a tattoo no one will ever see anyway
But I know you’re there, invincible as it may, be,
it matters not, as to your heart, I am now a castaway
Pass me the drugs for this ache
You left through these arteries, never to return again
I feel nothing running up these veins
I need something, although I shouldn’t medicate in vain
But I wanna be rid of this pain
There’s no hypnosis that can have me go numb again
So I fight through it, like the intrusive thoughts in my brain
Home is where the heart is, they said
It’s kinda taking a piss, cause right now it’s a stain I’m struggling to erase
I loved you to the moon and beyond
But I guess my heart wasn’t where your home belonged, it was just a stage
Now we’re rolling credits, with the same sad songs being overplayed
Or maybe it was just a checkpoint and I had no choice but to wave you clear to go
And you drove away so fast, silly me to have expected a wave,
Goodbye
I can’t say you never felt this pain
But you got to be the one that got away
And I, stayed
It’s only been a couple of years
yet, it feels like yesterday
It’s been a work in progress closing our story, page by page
Highlighting pros and cons, making sure I don’t leave folded edges
Lessons learned become pledges
Pledges to become better are made
Now I’m lighting up the fireplace
So the next person that fancy’s my heart a home,
will be welcomed with a warm embrace
