Pen to paper
Gasping for air
Better to keep it buried
Better to be emotionally dead
Anything to avoid a mirror
Anything to avoid looking into those eyes
To face the man within
Anything but the truth
Reality is not real
Love is not fair
Time is short
Time is forever
I missed the signs
I survived instead of thrived
Misery is easy. Love is hard
Just get through the day
I embraced the misery to kill the passion
