Clear

2021 | 13 years old

i used to think i’d have some dramatic story someday

but you showed me a new way

thought that if my heart was broken it would be broken gracefully

but walking out here alone is something new to me

you pulled me out from the dark

and then pulled me apart

you taught me lessons no one else could understand

then you made me question them

i cry your name in my sleep

hoping one day you’ll hear

you, i can’t blame

cause you ran away in fear

but each night i pray

that you’ll come running back here

because with you, everything was clear

i walked home through the rain that day

i stumbled through the door and didn’t hear the words you usually say

i knew of your going away

you forsook me

you knew i needed you to be

a million thoughts raced through my mind

your golden past intertwined with mine

you pulled me out from the dark

and then pulled me apart

you taught me lessons no one else could understand

then you made me question them

i cry your name in my sleep

hoping one day you’ll hear

you, i can’t blame

cause you never shed a tear

but each night i pray

that you’ll come running back here

because with you, everything was clear

i walked home through the rain that day

i stumbled through the door and didn’t hear the words you usually say

i knew of your going away

you forsook me

you knew i needed you to be

a million thoughts raced through my mind

your golden past intertwined with mine

you pulled me out from the dark

and then pulled me apart

you taught me lessons no one else could understand

then you made me question them

i cry your name in my sleep

hoping one day you’ll hear

you, i can’t blame

cause you never shed a tear

but each night i pray

that you’ll come running back here

because with you, everything was clear

try to build a house on this shore

but your waves wash it away

i need to build a house on this shore

but the memories’ waves wash it away

sliver lining breaks when i visit the stone every other day

i wish i could could feel your presence through the gray

i need you to stay

how could you have ever thought, that when you’re gone, i’ll be okay?

but this isn’t something that you did to me

i need to let you be free

i can’t persist and push it all away

say you stabbed me in the back then walked the pathway

i know you can’t stay

you pulled me out from the dark

and then that pulled me apart

you taught me lessons no one else could understand

and i live by them

i whisper your name in my sleep

i know each time you hear

me, i can’t blame

because all of this was made in fear

i can’t wait for the day

we’ll come running back here

and now finally

everything is beginning to be

clear
