Alone

I see the world, as if Ive never seen it before
With a new set of eyes, I put on my glasses & things become clearer
While lessons of the past have made me cold
I make a fire and sit alone
For now I master the art of needing nobody, except me
I thought of you as an unconditional piece
One of the only people to bring me peace
Instead you took the best parts of me
My sense of humor is clouded by seriousness & mistrust
My smile only shines in gusts
My laugh peeks through my skin
When I think about it, we were both competitive
But we lost eachother
The way we hovered, protecting
Fighting wars, taking bullets
But never realizing we were both behind the trigger
I gave you just enough rope to hang, while you were loading the gun
BANG
Now its gone off
Howre we supposed to patch up the wounds of our scoff
I want to trust, but I let myself pull away with no fuss
The great thing is that youll always have a place in my beat
I dont know why Im the only one that can see
Youre a wolf in sheeps clothing
I wish you the world
But I cant defeat
This feeling that I cant forgive
And it makes me not want to live
Without you, but the sad truth is
Youre the END in my friend
I love you, but I have a new set of eyes
That will water when I reminisce
I have new priorities, a new life
New friends, that deserve my full attention
Please understand that at one time
You were most of my chapters
In fact you were on my cover
But now Im closing the book
I refuse to drain in these thoughts and suffer
When you left, believe it or not, it made me tougher
It was rough, but with these new wings, I soar
Because I see the world, as if Ive never seen it before
