Thoughts for the day: Time

I think I break my heart a day at a time

And you laughed while I cried.

I'd put emotions into empty space

Nothing you could ever replace.

I stood up tall and tried to leave

But there are the thoughts that worry me.

Why are people afraid of being alone?

I tried to take a couple steps and I froze.

You didn't care if I'd leave and that's the feeling that's killing me.

I put my trust into a lie and it started to crumble a day at a time.

I hoped for things to move along 

We're not right than we are wrong.

But late at night you're not around,

When the nightmares start to flow,

You're the heavy burden that keeps weighing me down.

I have those insecurities you've planted inside,

Each one keeps rolling in like the tides. 

I've hidden from myself for a long time,

I'm not sure who she is anymore,

Am I a lie?

There's too many things I once enjoyed,

And time already knows I let them be destroyed.

I feel like my soul was too weak,

That I kept giving it a chance,

But it now seems so bleak.

How much can I give that I'll realize there is nothing left?

How much can you take and take and take?

When will I know to finally walk away?
