Lost and found

They say to get over someone, to get under someone I admit the thought crossed my mind Turns out self destruction is no longer my thing I can’t find that girl That girl you used to know I look in the mirror I look at old photos I hear an old song She left me…

Your words burned me down Chased away all the sanity thats left in me I ask for guidance I ask these questions I ask for a sign He gives me another lesson He makes me face myself He wants me to fight him But he fights dirty He wants me to fight me So let…

Sweet spot

I have these foot prints in my heart They confined me to this bed They confined me to this room I remember a time when I couldn’t stomach the pain I stayed up late I cried for days I couldn’t breathe I fell to my knees The memories wouldn’t die The movies were on repeat…
