My life is slipping

Right through my fingers.

It’s slipping like sand.

Through my tightened fists.

I bring down the ones

I care about most.

And now the love I have

It’s being taken away.

I don’t know what to do

All I can do is just…

Waiting for a day

Where I am no longer confused.

Longing for the hour

Where I am able

To make my own decisions.

I cannot help but want to

Collapse and cry out my sorrows.

But my feelings

Should not be shown to…

Everyone around me

Telling me that I’m wrong.

I’m letting them down

And I can’t seem to stop.

I talk about things

Only to make people

Fall down and fall apart.

It’s because of my feelings that…

I feel so depressed

When others are too.

The skies aren’t as blue

As they used to be.

And the stars don’t shine

As bright as…

The sparkle in my eyes

They’ve faded away.

I cannot relight them

So I think I’ll just

Walk away with…

Nothing but the clothes

On my back and a song

Lingering in my head.

Nothing like this is…

Stopping at the red light

I almost want to drive through

So I can go and…

Seeing you tonight

My long lost…

Memories that kill.
