Caught in this glass box

Can't seem to figure out

which way is up and which way is down

Is this what it feels like to drown?

Can't find a way out of this mess

I want to make it out alive

But at what cost?

I won't lose my drive

To keep on going

Just like you would want me to

It won't make me love you any less

I'm trapped in this pain

In these lies

Waiting for the sun to rise

Can't breath

Can't think

Can't close my eyes

It hurts to remember

But I don't want to forget

What we have left

Means everything to me

I can't lose that too

I just want to see you smile

Watch the light in your eyes

Hear your laugh once more

But I know that you're gone

For good this time

And I'll never get you back

No matter how much I wish I could

I miss everything about you

I see your face

When I close my eyes

The memories flash across my mind

And fade away

As the tears drown them out

Your ashes in that curling rock

I can't walk into that house without wincing

Feel that familiar pinching pain in my chest

Tears in my eyes

Fear in my heart

And a smile on my lips nonetheless

I act like it's all okay

But it won't ever be again

It's not the same without you

So here I am

Trapped between

My wants and needs

Painfu memories

And harder still

The thought of letting them go

I just want to remember you

The way you were

And love you until the end
