Matter of time
The tears falling
As I feel myself closing in
Not wanting to fight this time
Feeling as if all is lost once again
So tired of pretending
Acting like your words don’t hurt
Picking up the pieces
For what?
Knowing I’m on empty
Can’t fall any further
Refusing to play strong for you
I’m the only one getting hurt here
Numbness encasing me
Enticing me to care no longer
Begging me to give up hope
On a cause that only binds me
The pain apparent to all but you
Emptiness I feel so deep
Wishing you could see through the walls I’ve built
Reminded you are the reason they are there in the first place
I cry alone as I often do
Struggling as always
Letting go of you
Hating that my heart fights to hang on
As I struggle with letting go
Convincing myself that I am weak
Inside knowing that I’m strong
Just a matter of time before I stand tall again
Just a matter of time before I regain strength
Just a matter of time before you see all that you lost
Just a matter of time you’ll be where I was in the end
