I’ll say what I mean,

I don’t mean to be mean

or hard of heart,

Just trying to use

My pain for art.

I used to love you

and now I don’t know.

So, hoping to see something true,

I let my rhymes flow

Maybe for something new, maybe for you.

Introspection and reflection,

I bury my feelings so deep,

They’re beyond detection.

Got to be rational and logical,

Everything emotional

is everything null.

I really don’t think that way,

but sometimes I value logic over feeling,

And then I’m not okay.

I wish my reasoning was clear.

I’d have nothing to fear.

But it’s not.

So I’m caught

Up in this battle between present and past.

How long will this last?

I don’t know

Just hoping to grow

Day to day,

I’ll be okay

Look to the future and everything’s bright

Look to the past and everything’s night

It’s all dark and gone.

Some things went wrong.

So why do I look back?

Cause all I see is a crack

of light in that darkness

a little bit of energy I tried to harness.

But I couldn’t hold on,

Because you’re with someone else,

And now he’s gone.

I saw the pain,

Like a blood stain,

Even before it occurred,

And so my heart got trampled,

Ran over by the herd

of thoughts and feelings I had,

But it wasn’t that bad.

The worst thing for me,

Was seeing you sad.

So I’m trying to move forward,

Trying to forget the fore-word

To this chapter of my life

Because it was burdened by love,

Not battered by strife.

I take a moment to reflect

on the feelings I finally detect,

But now I’ve got to try to move on.

Though it was right and not wrong,

Now it is gone.
