Sorrow
<div>
"You were better off when you were chasing me,"</div>
<div>
Well I hardly knew what I was doing,</div>
<div>
I didn't know what role I had to play,</div>
<div>
I was there because I fell in love with you,</div>
<div>
And now I wonder how I should have made you stay.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This old town doesn't seem the same anymore,</div>
<div>
Nor does my heart beating inside my chest,</div>
<div>
It's sustained aching for you forevermore,</div>
<div>
I wonder when it'll remain at rest.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This blanket seems colder now,</div>
<div>
My perfume has long since evaporated from it,</div>
<div>
"I knew that I could have died for you,"</div>
<div>
I said, disappointedly to the moon.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The moon never wakes me up anymore,</div>
<div>
As it once did when he promised he would,</div>
<div>
I always bade him goodnight to tell you,</div>
<div>
In hopes that he would return a goodnight too.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Tears stain a letter never sent to its addressed location,</div>
<div>
Sometimes I can't help it once it just starts pouring out,</div>
<div>
I wish I could look at you once more</div>
<div>
Maybe then it'll be enough.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But I wonder who'll read it,</div>
<div>
And think that I can't move on.</div>
<div>
Bitterness and ache plague the mind,</div>
<div>
Finding you has given a different kind of sign.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Through all of the tears stinging my cold cheeks,</div>
<div>
And cries choking on the words you've promised me,</div>
<div>
I'll still look for the one thing you've taken back from me,</div>
<div>
And it's in him I finally see. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I long to love you like nobody has ever done,</div>
<div>
I want to be your moon at night </div>
<div>
And during the day, your sun.</div>
<div>
I'll long to sing you lullabies and comfort you when you're upset,</div>
<div>
I'll hold you when you believe nobody else is around,</div>
<div>
And find you when you need to be found.</div>
<div>
I want to be the keeper of your secrets,</div>
<div>
And be your love until the end of time,</div>
<div>
Most of all, I long to be your friend until words no longer rhyme. </div>
<div>
</div>
