Back Then

It’s nights like this,
The ones so alone and cold.
That makes me feel sad,
A sadness that seems so old.
I remember how it was,
Days much better than this.
When all I needed was you,
All I wanted was a golden kiss.
When I was cold you kept me warm,
When I was alone you were there.
When I was crying you gave a shoulder,
When I had nothing I had your care.

But thinking back,
Back to how it was.
Knowing what I lost,
It just makes my heart pause.
If I knew now,
What I knew then.
I wouldn’t let go,
I would only begin.
I think of how it is,

What a sorry state I am.
I’ve gone nowhere but down,
And I just think “God damn.”
I try to think that I deserve better,
The best the world has to offer.
When I tell myself I can get more,
I know that all I am is a bad liar.
I don’t think I’m greedy,
I don’t think it’s too much.
All I want is you,
I want to feel your touch.

My words can’t do anything,
They just show off my pain.
But by letting me vent,
They barely keep me sane.
But if they can do more,
If it can show what I wish.
Then maybe that’s something,
It might end my anguish.

You know what I feel,
You can’t deny it anymore.
You take away all my thoughts,
You’re the one I adore.
I can’t change how it is,
I just let it be.
I sit here and hope,
That you somehow choose me.
I want to be the one,
To keep away all harms.
I want to be the one,
That’s back in your arms.
