it was late at night
there I was holding on tight
wanting to breathe the fresh air
that lingered around me
I literally reached for the stars
and the reminded me of you
so near yet so far
an illusion of feign relief
I remember the day you left
I was stranded within my crest
I wanted to speak
but I held back my tongue
knowing I would spill
more venom than needed
I thought I could hate you
I thought I could forget you
but all I did was engrave your memories in the depth of my heart ❤
