“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.” - Jack Kerouac


You don’t know how hard you hit me 

But trust me, it was hard 

Gave you all my fire 

And you left me feeling charred


I tried to spice it up again 

Be the guy you once adored

Wrapped myself in a pretty bow

But you don’t see me anymore


Now I toss and turn and wonder

Over everything I said 

A broken record in my mind

A shadow lying in my bed


I’ve been down this road before

Destined to repeat

Pulled off the road and sobbed 

In the passenger seat 


Although I know what’s coming 

I can’t face the pain 

The patches on my heartstrings 

Don’t shield me from the rain
