The Window

I opened my
Eyes
Found my
Surroundings
Sleep leaving
And you're gone
Still
After all
Of these
Years
You're
Still
Gone

Determined
To make
Everyone suffer
Because of my
Personal hell
I lost
Sight
That
I had
Heaven
By
My
Side

Years haven't
Brought
Forgiveness
And
Closure
Only constant
Regret
An all
Expense paid
Trip
Down
Memory
Lane

I can't let
Go
I hold
Tight to
My
Feelings
Of love
I
Lost
Years
Ago
Never to be
Had again

Past repeats
Itself
Only if
You put
Yourself
In a
Position
To allow
It
Never again
I can't
I won't
Never the same

Nobody compares
Not fair
To them
Anguish
For me
Better to
Be
Alone
Than
To deal
With
Unmet
Expectations

I don't
Have
What it
Takes
I won't
Give
Therefore
I do not
Receive
How to settle
When I've
Already experienced
The best I could

Get over it
Let go
Move on
Easy words
For those
On the
Outside
Attempting
To look in
While their
View is
Smeared
With their advice

Time heals
All things
A lifetime
Must be
What
They
Meant
Moving forward
With my
Memories
Moving
Backwards

Continuing alone
Is easier
Than the
Chance
Of experiencing
Loss
Again
How many
Times
Can something
Break
Before it's
Broken
Forever

Solitude
Alone
Self-preservation
Closed
Lock the door
Throw away
The key
While
Opening
The
Blinds
To the
Past

So out
That
Window
I stare
The memories
Cast a
Shadow
On
My face
At
That window
There I
Stand
