The ebb and flow
The high or low
It's all just water anyway.

-

You know it mattered if it hurts
You know you cared for it if you cry
You know it was a deep wound
If it left a scar
But you also know it will heal itself
Because time will never stop working on it.

-

...and how their eyes met,
but the conversation went
misunderstood.

-

Dead was the woman
Who stayed out that winter night
In his cold presence.

-

Sometimes you do not want to end the relationship... you still want them in your life, but you only wish they treated you better.

-

And how we promised
A forever that lasted
Just as long as time,

Maybe I didn't
Know that forever meant as
Long as you wanted.

-

When he asks me "what's wrong"
I've got nothing to show
The storm raging inside me
He never has to know.

-

The key tried to open the
wrong lock; and got
broken to a point where
it can't even open
the correct one anymore.

-

you stop looking for it... and in the hearts of those who stand by you shoulder to shoulder, you'll find it without seeking.

-

For the ones who tried to touch the stars
Attempted to raise their feet off the ground
Though fell just a bit short
Alas, the opportunity didn't come around...

With the hope that 2022 provides the chance
To rise even higher
Let us enter into this year
With a promise to make ourselves better.
