Bereft
the binds of grief remain unbearably vivid
sacrifice my name for the sake of remembrance
justify my blame with aims of self reflection
ignore the tear in the aorta of my heart
where is the balm that will heal this affliction
it eludes me as I struggle with the constriction
I've almost acclimated to the break in my constitution
is it a loosened grip or is my mind slipping?
one day the waves will wash me ashore
I'll lose your memory in the blue
is that what keep me holding on?
the only thing I ever wanted was you
who will I become if I let it all go?
who am I now even if I don't?
my heart keeps waiting for you to return
even as my mind knows that you won't
sacrifice my name for the sake of remembrance
justify my blame with aims of self reflection
ignore the tear in the aorta of my heart
where is the balm that will heal this affliction
it eludes me as I struggle with the constriction
I've almost acclimated to the break in my constitution
is it a loosened grip or is my mind slipping?
one day the waves will wash me ashore
I'll lose your memory in the blue
is that what keep me holding on?
the only thing I ever wanted was you
who will I become if I let it all go?
who am I now even if I don't?
my heart keeps waiting for you to return
even as my mind knows that you won't
