So Long

I always gave it everything I had
I can leave now, without the remorse
that will be haunting you

And I'm sorry for you
I'm sorry you were sleeping for
years and through every try I invested

I'm sorry you lost something precious
Someone you now realize
you broke over and over again

I'm shall grow stronger and I will
forevermore shine

I'll never let someone
crush me again

Crushed Dreams

I've seen you
When you sweep crushed dreams
under your sheets
Pretending
That nothing needs patching
And my mother used to stitch
my torn clothes
Started mending
my sliced thighs instead

While I have been trying,
for years,
to heal the holes inside of me
Backlashing over and over
and over again
Always rising once more
to give it another try
I've grown tired
of residing here

I'm afraid of finding myself
Sometime in the future
Hiding my scattered dreams
Just like you
Even to have forgotten
That I've swept them away

Closing In

I am reaching for the surface
Eager to inhale the first gasp of air
Let the darkness dry away
Finally, finding everything out there
That I've longed for forever
While trying to gently repair
Growing from the inside again
I may think, all this time I've been unaware
Of all these treasures around me
Of every single smile I'll wear
But now I'll retake what I missed
And I'm truly ready, I swear
So I'm leaping out now
To show myself that I can, that I dare
