Title: Tears for you
One-Shot
Why did you leave me? Why did you have to leave me to this fate, this fate that destroyed my heart? I can't help but blame you sometimes for letting go of us, of life. What's left of my heart is empty, hollow, a void. I dreamed so much of this time, a time where we could be together without any obstacles, without any mechanics or cruel interventions of fate between us. What are those dreams worth now?
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you want have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because you presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
My dreams of you have changed, drastically so. I no longer see you smiling, waiting, and waiting for me. Now I run after you, hoping, wishing, praying that some day I might catch up to you. I feel that life has no purpose now that you're gone, now that you've left me for something beyond my comprehension. I wish you were here to tell me once again that the pain will come to an end. That's impossible now; ending the pain is forgetting you.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of theses years
But you still have all of me
I make my way through the streets, alleys, shops without purpose, searching for a cause. I'm trying to live on, as you would have wished it. Tell me, what would you have done if in my place? All I can do is cry until I fall asleep only to wake again, and once again; cry.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
I can't seem to think anymore, everyone is worried about me, from afar. Everyone has continued with their lives, and yet I can't. Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like if you were still here. I would have confessed how I always had affections for you, and would have awaited your answer. Now I'll never know I'll just keep dreaming of you.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Time has flown away from my grasp, so rapidly. Yet, nothing can overcome that memory, that image embedded in my mind. Even as I called you name to the heavens, pleading them to return you back to me, you didn't hear me. These scars that were once memories of happiness have become memoirs that you aren't here any longer. You're no longer here to protect me.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of theses years
But you still have all of me
There's so many things that I could say to you. I know though, if you were truly in front of me at the moment I would be speechless, consumed by your presence. I would rush to you, embracing the reality that your here. Every night I seem to be consumed by nightmares, horrid images of death, and those images that surrounded me before I met you, when I awoke from my slumber.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And through you're still with me
I've been alone all along
I've learned that it's no use trying to hide the truth. My face shows pure vulnerability and pain. I can't seem to hide it away from the others, they've tried to comfort me, but only you can bring peace to me again. Along with my sanity you've taken my ability to love. As long as I live I'll never forget you.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of theses years
But you still have all of me
As I cry these silent tears, know that I'll fall to a slumber soon, fading from unconsciousness; back to dreaming of you Joe.
