So as it is, this safe was a bad idea,

ever since I stowed my heart away,

I can’t think of a reason to live the day.

I don’t see the point in living without love,

even though it seems to hurt all too much,

because without love we are empty shells,

hollow in heart and hollow in soul,

we walk with no particular role,

and only seek to please ourselves,

but that isn’t me.

Darling, you out of anyone,

know that I cannot be content,

thinking of only myself,

so I believe it is time for me to grow up,

put the pain aside,

and live my life, expecting scars.

Despite the heartache and pain,

I must push it aside or I would have lived my life in vain.

I must seek to please others,

show them the happiness that I have almost forgotten,

and simply hope for someone to return the favor.

I guess I can say that I forgive you for what you’ve done,

but that makes you no less wrong,

I hope your eyes fall on this page,

for when you do, you’ll know it’s about you,

and I can only pray that this message gets through.
