Give Up


Distance, never see
Again
Don’t be afraid
It’s not worth it
All the pain
Will go away
But the memories
Of a heavy disdain
Will remain
Can’t get rid
Of the past
Can’t tell the future
Give it up
It’s not worth it
Sever all ties
Not worth it
Don’t think
Destroy your heart
And you’ll be fine
Forget about it
Forget about everything
You once stood for
Destroy everything that
Could’ve been before
It all happens again
Tear me open
To see what’s inside
Stitch me back up with
Your careless lies
Tears won’t help wash
Away everything
Scream, they say
That it helps let
It all out
How can we know
What’s suppose to be
If we can’t get it where we
Want it to be
Disregard all
Those who once helped
You
Don’t worry
It’ll all pay off in
The end
For you
Where does this
All leave me?
I have been torn
Open again
I don’t know if the
Lies can keep the stitches
From tearing open again
I feel it coming up
Not again
This pain has dulled
The price was the
Clarity of memories
I never knew
That happiness of then
Would bring the pain
Of now
I don’t belong
In this place
Chase me away
Make it all better for you
Even if it all
Becomes vain in the
End you’ll get yourself
Back on track
While throwing me away
Hide the hurt
Inside
That’s what I do best
There’s no reason
To let it all show
For everyone to know
It’s too much for
Someone to bear
Yet I’m still here
I’m still alive
And unfortunately,
I still care
Despite my hatred
It dies down through
My minds eye
Broken faith
I lay on the ground
Your back is turned
As you continue on
No amount of crying
Can catch me up to you
I’ll rot away here
Wallowing in my self
Hatred and pity
Until the day comes
Where I’m taken
Away
To a better place
That’s all I’ve
Ever been able to do
What’s the sense?
I’ve given up
For good
No convincing the stubbornly
Lost
No time to try
Let it fly by
It’s not your life
So why do you try?
Why are you the only
One who knows
The only one I can
Trust
At a time like this?
Confusion runs as
Deep as the pain
Giving up…
It’s all I’ve got now
