After all the times I endured
I battled impatience
With realization
I've fallen, lost and hurt
Unaware you had a lover
I thought that was the worst
Now he's stealing my thunder
If you want to take the time from me
Then take the sand from your hourglass too
If you want to try and remind me
That I'll never be anything to you
Good luck bringing me down
The truth is cold, your eyes deceive
I thought I saw fire, your flame alight
Now all I see is icicles, the absence of heat
Part of me is evasive
And it serves you right
I don't just quit
When I'm told to walk away
I know the pain inside
Would soon wash away
But I'll never forget all the things I regret
Chances I should've took
With you once I had my first look
Finally, for the time being
I can put my mind to ease
And cease to release conflict
And bad dreams that haunt me
Dauntingly
I've chosen to forsake that road
And cover up the trail
That I'll never lay tracks on
Out of respect for you
All of the things I do
Are contributions turned to resolutions
Without you
One thing I have learned
Is it's hard to let a burden down
When you were never asked
To even remove it from the ground
