You wake up and she’s lying beside youSoft breaths escape her parted lips,Harmoniously matching the rise and fall of her chest.
Sunlight creeps in through the cracks in the blindsIlluminating her pale, exposed skin.
It seems I’ve already lit the house on fire,but forgot I was still standing inside.
I broke our promise, broke your heartAnd we’ve suffered, time and time againI let it all fall apartWhat a fool I was back…
The spot beside me in bed
Still warm from where you lie
Only mere hours ago
But now you’re gone
And I’m fading away
True love isn’t something that happens often.
For some, they may never find it. For others, it comes more than once in a lifetime. You’ll know you have it when you’re with someone and they don’t just make you happy, because plenty of people can come along…
I wish I lived in a world without malice and pain
In a worldwhere women weren’t afraidto speak their truth
In a worldwhere they don’t live in fearthat nobody will believe them
