when it all comes tumbling down

take a step forward
and dont ever look back.

was what you had decided, wasnt it?

its just a gash.
this scar will heal, you thought.
it isnt so bad, It can be lived with.

was what you reasoned to yourself, wasnt it?

everything, is in the end, temporary.
I'll change myself.
and then everything will be fine.

was what you planned, wasnt it?

that night, with a heavy heart
and eyes so wet
you slept

so you could dream of a better ending, right?

people are logical.
people are just.
the world can be fair, you just need to trust

was what you hoped for, didnt you?




life, is supposed to be a straight line
so that you can go forwards, with each step

but, now youre in a circle
that you keep coming back to

and you wonder.
why.

is it even worth it?
Im righteous, but why is the world still so cruel?
it isnt fair, was it ever just?
I cannot forget, those feelings are too deep

is what you think now.

and I.
I cant give you any hope.

the questions you ask.
the thoughts you think.

I cant hope to ever answer them, no one can.

the pain you carry. shall always pierce.
but, the paths you took, are worth remembering
the parts you carved, are worth keeping
even if there is a price.

maybe one day, you'll find another shoulder
to help carry your burden
because you carry the greatest weight of all
but you cannot share it

youre made that way, right?
to carry, without flinching
the turmoil stays within
the empty smile you give
is mistaken for being shallow
but they look at your lips


and not your eyes, do they?


but, remember.

all things, that give, dont always have to recieve
the wind that touches your face
shall always be there
never leaving
always giving.

and the only true feelings that I can pass on to you
is one of belief.
the burden, you can carry,
and only you can carry it

you'll shed these tears again.
so that no one else has to.

you'll do it.

because,
youve never been pure.
but youve always been good.

and as I see you

walking on that thorny road.
with nothing for company but the wind.

you look at me
and smile
a smile you learned to smile, through your tears
a smile of companionship, of love, of laughter and of pain
a smile of the world

and I stare into those eyes
that best shade of brown

you pierce me
and I see you
like you should be seen
the greatest, you have always been

and I smile back

for I shall never forget.
these unchanged feelings you shared.
these unsaid words I felt.
