They Say

By The Stolen Heart •
They say that time will heal all wounds but time will never pass
A year I spent in love with you who promised we would last.
You promised me with all your heart you’d love me till I died.
And when I passed you’d love me still, and visit where I lied.
You held me in tightly when we met, even if we met in dreams
You promised it’d be forever, but you don’t know what forever means.
You told me I was perfect, you told me everyday
No one you would love more than me, I was worth the time and place.
You wanted me to be better than I was, you wanted what was best.
I couldn’t be perfect for you; I tried and failed that test.
I couldn’t keep on feeling like you were slipping from my hands
That your love for me was passing as an hourglass’s sands.
So I chose not to let you rule me, and for a while I was fine.
But I know you and I were meant to be, that we’d be back in time.
As time passed and I wished to speak you couldn’t find my place,
I was the puzzle piece of sky that didn’t have a place.
And so I lie inside my grave, where you swore you would come too
My spirit decays bit by bit as I remember you.
You’re eyes, your smile, your hands your mouth, your laugh and all my tears.
We will never meet again my love, you’ve moved onward with your years.
