the pain in my heart is searing
it’s dropped me to my knees.
I never thought I’d ever hear
good-bye fall from your lips.
the silence here is deafening
over taking this room.
I am walking around talking to myself
just to hear a sound.
after hours and hours alone
tearing myself to shreds.
I called my brother and asked him to listen
I just needed to say the words.
I needed to hear that I wasn’t the monster
I have made myself out to be.
I needed to hear it from him
he truly knows who I am.
he said, I don’t believe in right and wrong
anymore
I just believe in timing.
and this just wasn’t the time
for you to be where you were.
take it for what is was, he said,
look how it made you feel!
tell that story with happiness
that it ever existed at all.
maybe the reason was not what you thought
maybe she was just a gift.
to teach you how to feel again
after all that you’ve been through.
don’t let this derail you
keep the story close to your heart.
see it for what it gave you
not what it took away.
this was not the time is all
this was not the place.
to lay your heart down openly
at someone else’s feet.
