Everyone is welcome
As you stare into my soul
You see my every weakness
My flaws laid bare
I can’t help but cry
.
I want to be held
Not daring to move
My eyes unable to look at you
You take me in your arms
Holding me close
Your touch feels so good
I can’t help but cry
.
I tighten our embrace
In fear of rupture
I breathe your odour
Smelling your hair
Pulling you closer
Until you move away
Pushing my face up
I can’t help but cry
.
Your lips embrace mine
Everything will be ok
I can’t help but cry
.
Just so so broken
A million pieces shattered in the wind
It’s going to take an eternity
To put me back together
I don’t think I’ll ever be complete
Just patch me up as best as you can
I’m not worth the effort
I don’t care anymore
What does it matter anyway?
I used to look for love
Craved it more than anything
But now I’m so lost on my path
Fighting myself within
Where did I wander?
Falling to the abyss
Why were my choices so wrong?
What was so amiss?
What is wrong with me now?
Why does it fall apart?
Such pity and self doubt
Pumping through my heart
I just question everything I do
As if every decision was wrong
How can you still be with me?
Even though you’re gone?
Never good enough
Everyone screams
You’d think it was
A murder scene
No one listens
As hearts break
Realising all
Was a mistake
Told to go
Get your stuff
Get the fuck out
Had enough
Think about it
Before you leave
Upsidedown
Life upheaved
What do you want?
Do you even know?
Will you stay?
Will you go?
My ex, I called her the ice queen
My name for her because she was mean
She wasn’t always like that to start
But that girl tore my heart apart
A year and a half I wasted with her
We argued once and she cowered
She did not want me to have a life
To her this just seemed right
She split up with me Christmas eve
I couldn’t accept it I was so peeved
I took it hard, I left that day
On the train on a new way
I couldn’t stand it, the rejection killed
That queen smothered me and broke my will
I tried getting back on with things
So I took on what life would bring
One day I saw her, I saw her again
That girl knew just how to get in my brain
We studied in London we waited for a train
How she was so smug it drove me insane
She talked about her boyfriend running her a bath
Oh that smug bitch, how could she laugh
I’m over her now, but it took a long while
That ice queen bite was viscous, even vile

Talk to me softly
I can’t remember the last time
We had an intimate moment
Or shared a bottle of wine
To smile and laugh together
To hang on each other’s word
All this wanting
May seem to be absurd
We just need a little attention
To spark the match again
To go back to like before
When we were still friends
But all that being lost now
As we hardly kiss goodbye
All the time thinking
Why it is like this? Why?
