They say the sun will rise,
And it's true.
But I don't want to open my eyes,
My heart lies with the moon.
The dark is where I belong,
Because the light left me behind.
I'm not sure if it was the light that was too fast.
Or if it was me, just being too slow.
I can't lift my heavy feet,
My shoulders carry too much.
It's from all the burdens that people left me,
But I'm the one who volunteered.
People come into my life and then leave soon after.
I'm sorry I wasn't good enough.
It's sad I remember your laughter,
Even from years ago.
The thing is, I remember.
I remember everything.
Which is why I'm so broken,
Because all I wanted was to forget.
