Simpy

Lately, I've been trying to erase you from my mind But your memory lingers, a persistent find I swear I'm finna give up, this heartache ain't right But writing songs is my solace, my guiding light I'm not adept at words, but they're my only way To express the emotions that I can't convey Music is my refuge, my shelter from the pain The only way to avoid succumbing to the shame It's ironic, how you almost replaced my melody The one I vented to, my harmony Like I vent to my music, my soul's symphony But I pushed you away, a habit I can't break, it seems I'm trapped in cycles, reliving past heartaches Selfish fears and doubts, a toxic, vicious maze I fail to surrender, to trust and be free Afraid to lose myself, to let love be Our first encounter, etched in my mind like a scar A high like no other, a love so rare But labels confuse me, and I falter and fall Wishing I had sacrificed more, given more of myself to the whole of you.
