Maybe Someday

Someday, maybe someday
I won’t cry when I see your smile
Someday, maybe someday
This feeling will die

Someday, maybe someday
I won’t cry when I hear your name
Someday, maybe someday
I can let go of everything

Someday, maybe someday
My knees will support me
Someday, maybe someday
I’ll be strong enough

I think it’s time for me to leave
Walk away with my head held high
I need to realize that I can be okay
Even though I can’t see your face
Anymore

Someday, maybe someday
I’ll get by without you
Someday, maybe someday
I can learn something new

Someday, maybe someday
This past will let me go
Someday, maybe someday
I can finally grow past this

Someday, maybe someday

I’ll forget what you said to me
Someday, maybe someday
I’ll feel free of you again

Kindness

Hope the next hands you hold are kinder
Than the ones that caged you until now
Please don’t look too badly on the past
Grow beyond this moment in time

Do not meet cruelty in kind, make yourself
Take a step back and settle down first
I know that this is harder than forgiveness
Perspective is all that matters to us

Anger can last, but so can charity, goodness
Can linger like a sweet taste on the tongue
Sugar that seems so fragile but melts so slow
Sitting warm in your heart and not letting go

Being kind is not the same as being weak

Because it takes so much strength to be gentle
To see something redeemable in everyone, or
Hold onto hope instead of drowning in despair

Journey

I think that you should leave
Find your own way from now on
This place has brought you so
Much pain, and I can’t bear it anymore

Your tears when you look around
See all the past memories still there
I think it would do you some good
To get away from everything for a while

Get out, go far away, and see the stars
Under some different light and town
Find some new memories to replace
The ones that I see in your eyes to this day

And maybe we’ll never meet again
That’s alright, I guess, even though I
Love you so much, I want you to learn
To finally love yourself even more

I’m trying to not be selfish for once
Please don’t look back when you leave
I don’t want you to see my tears, I want
You to remember my smile instead

Maybe our paths will cross again, sometime
In the future, but even if I never see you again
Go now, and find something new to live for
Because your life can’t be about me anymore

The Forgotten

Teddy bear kisses and blow pop wishes
Childhood dreams are spun sugar
Sticky and sweet and so good to eat
Gobble them up and watch them disappear

What does someone keep in the toy chest

Under lock and key and left to rot forever?
What did you forget, slowly piece by piece
Until the pain lost its tight hold on you?
