Slow burn

Slow burn

Slow burn

Questioning myself for many years now

Second thoughts , I realized , but too late

Believing that someone like you liked me

In actuality the opposite , I was just played

It's just like a slow burn

Like a candle at the end of it's turn

My heart begins to churn

I still have hope and yearn

That one day you may return

I did not see the signs that you gave out

Blindly in love with you, I had no reason

Unconditionally devoted to noone but you

Without warning our bond had weakened

It's just like a slow burn

Like a candle in it's final turn

My heart has started to churn

I still hope and I still yearn

Because one day you might return

Wishes I had of you and I forever together

Dreams of us living happily as a family

Burst by a bullet you aimed at my heart

Since romeo and juliet , not a worse tragedy

It's so much like a slow burn

Like a candle without a turn

This heart of mine has begun to churn

I pray , hope and still eagerly yearn

That tomorrow may be......

The day you return

My joy and my fears had switched places

With you my joy was in abundance, growing

My joy has turned to fear , of never seeing you

Never again shall I see you're beauty glowing

Praying ,wishing , hoping , I still have faith

Wanting , yearning , dreaming , I will wait

Sobbing , crying , sighing , I silently await

Dragging , pushing , pulling , my heart is an empty weight

Gripping , grasping , holding , if only you would have stayed

Now I'm out of moves , no direction , I've been outplayed
