The Last Time.

We were fire from the start
Living life from fight to fight
And I know that there’s no way
That we could ever make it right
Always trudging through the dark
Hoping we’d someday find the light
Always being just beyond
One another’s sight
But here we are and it’s the end
And there’s nothing left to say
We kept holding onto water
As we slowly slipped away
From everything that connected us
Besides the day to day
And I know it’s right to leave
But, God, I wish you’d stay
So hold me like you’ve always done
And we’ll pretend this one last time
That all the rocks and uphill roads
Were always worth the climb
We’ll look into each other’s eyes
And drink one last glass of wine
I’d rather do that than fight with you
Let’s just pretend we’re fine
Because we both know this is it
Let’s not spend it placing blame
It doesn’t matter who’s at fault
It would just end up the same
Let’s eat and laugh and watch t.v.
Not create some brand new pain
Sometimes the bravest thing to do
Is decide to walk away
I don’t want to be sad tonight
We’ve cried all that’s left to cry
Rivers have flowed from both our eyes
And now they’ve all run dry
Hold me and connect our breaths
In sync with every yawn and sigh
At least now that it’s the end
We can’t say we didn’t try
I know it’s almost time to go
If I stayed it would be a lie
So all that’s left to say to you
Is I’ve loved you and goodbye

Untitled.

Some days it feels like the hardest thing
Is continuing to believe
Because people who say they love you, hurt you
People you think will stay, always leave
It seems like you’re in an uphill climb
New doors don’t open when one is shut
And what you’ve learnt from the scars you’ve earned
Is it’s safer to not get cut
I don’t blame you for being hesitant
We’re in a scary place to be
But when you lose your faith in the world
You can keep your faith in me
It’s pointless to go over the forks in your life
Wishing you had taken another road
It won’t repair the place you’re in
Or pay the debts that you are owed
I know it seems all you’ve learned from love
Is not to give in to your whims
But there’s no time that I’m happier
Than when I’m tangled in your limbs
There are a lot of times that life’s unfair
Nice guys classically finish last
It’s hard to see your glass half full
And hope your future beats your past
I know that you have every reason to doubt
The words that people say
But I will be your hand in the dark
To help you guide the way
I will stand beside you when you have no strength
Hold you up if you should falter
Showing you that our love’s a love
That even time can’t alter
We all have our reasons to run
Living’s a dangerous thing to do
But if you can help me get through each day
I’ll do the same for you

Don't Lose Faith

I know you have your reasons to go
And anyone else would leave
I get that this painful cycle we’re in
Makes it impossible to believe
We could be the people we once were
Those people we forget
But if those people are in us at all
We can’t lose faith in them just yet
I know you said this fight was it
And you just can’t take any more
We’d done too much damage to go back
To being who we were before
Before this became what it is now
Before we were people we’d never met
But if you feel we could know them again
We can’t lose faith in them just yet
I know it makes no sense to stay
Leaving’s all that’s left to do
But if you can have a little faith in us
I promise I can be someone who
Is more like the person you used to love
Like the girl when we first met
If the boy who loved her’s still in you
He can’t lose faith in her just yet
I know it’s hard to forgive me now
And it’s easier to leave than to fear
That we’ll just be at this place again
But sometimes all you need to hear
Is that I love you, and that’s enough
To get us through upset
And if you agree with me at all
You can’t lose faith in us just yet
We’ve gone too far to walk out now
If we do, it’ll break my heart
You think I bring out the worst in you
But you are my best part
Please just hold on a little longer
Though you said your mind was set
I’ll love you till the day I die
Please don’t lose faith in me just yet
