If the speed of my words
Tells you I hurt
Then the tears in my eyes
Show you its worse
The rivers inside
waiting to rise
Worse than a billion
Crashing tides
The moment you left
My ears just turned deaf
The lips that were moving
To me with no breath
Astounded by reality
Logic just left
& what was with me
Was crazy instead
The things that I knew
Were no longer so
Be it a fact
Or fiction not true
Neither did I stop
Nor decide where to go
Where the road would take
Surely I don’t know
Ever since then
I’m just make pretend
A shadow of who I was
Much less than a man
Waiting to be with you
To talk once again
If ever there be a moment
That I call atonement
Would be when you left me
With your wisdom
I now know it
To grow is be old
Be old as the cold
The cold that you hold
You hold deep inside
As the truth may unfold
To learn what is there
What is there is care
We care as so hurt
Then we hurt a lot worse
To shield those who need
Need those who bleed
Bleed for the cause
Then the cause is defeat
Sitting roadside
fact, fiction, lies
All that is true
I miss you each day
Simply Complicated
