Some years have passed by,
Some moments of joy and sadness have flown away,
Some people I loved became strangers,
Some friends became enemies,
Betrayal was never a stranger to me,
Life wasn’t easy, as I kept thinking about all the mistakes I've made.
When I trust, trust is broken.
When I love, they stop loving.
To find the answers to my questions was all I ever wanted.
But, then, I never did forget the damage of love.
I was slowly loosing myself;
My own strength became my weaknesses;
The world never stopped breaking my heart.
I now looked at my past and laugh at how silly I once was.
To live, to love, and to be loved, was all I ever wanted.
I miss you more than I thought I would.
But, then, again, the fear of rejection holds me back.
I cried more than I taught I would.
But this journey of love and war never stopped colliding.
Life teaches,
Time heals,
But these wounds will never heal.
I am entangled in a battle:
A battle of fear and rejection.
My pain can’t be hidden anymore;
Once lovers, now strangers.
My love for you has locked me in a dungeon
In which I will never escape.
