A tear shed
A smile faked
A laugh forced
And a heart shattered.

A breath stopped
A jaw dropped
A heart racing
And a dream crushed.

With everything I want
falling apart in front of me,
and taunting me.
It gets so frustrating.

With everything I attempt
to make go away
coming at me like a thousand knives.
None of them miss.

And everything I worked for
just washes away
and becomes so vague.
I can't find my place.

And while all my questions linger,
searching blankly for an answer,
my eyes wander
searching for somewhere safe.

Is it so wrong to dream
of getting the most out of life
without running into dead ends,
without losing yourself in the middle?

If I took your hand
would you pull away?
And if I said "Hello."
what would you say?

I gave you all I had
even when you didn't know.
I love you so
and thank you.

Thanks for the truth
and thanks for the lies.
Thank you for all you didn't say.
Thank you for the non-existent memories.
