Broken dreams
Hours upon hours of time
Of energy of feelings
All for the wrong person
The states from people who have a different perspective from you
The greatness, the love , talking about how amazing that person is
But never forget about the struggles, the overwhelmed
The droplets of rain ruining the cars
Your soul, your peace
Before you realize it’s too late
To stop the feeling of attraction
The broken bottles of alcohol
Laying on the ground and not feeling the same way,
The ick of making things uncomfortable
Ignoring the trying to be nice
The effort and meaning a gift from God
And me meaning a block of clay
And while you are enjoying life
I’m the one with the gambling problem
The fight between the gods
But I deserve the clouds subsiding
On a rainy day, both worlds on the same wavelength of light
The same level of power
Not electrocuting the lines, but
Having the goals and being in line with myself
That you add to my math problem
And not subtract away my life
Do not pull the trigger
To gain knowledge and wisdom
And to be amazed by the museum of art
And to not pick up the glass shards with my bare bare hands.Subscribe  or  log in to reply
I love this part Rachel, “That you add to my math problem
And not subtract away my life.” It so wise. clever and powerful. I am sorry you are hurting but also glad you are healing. Sending hugs <3 Lauren
