Thunder & Lightning

No matter how far you’ve come
No matter where you set yourself up to go to
The burdens and baggage of the past
Still haunt every vain in your body
Making the piercing noises as they take a bite
Into your heart
Going deeper each time as you try to find a place
A place where you feel safe
Because all the other places are just too far from reach
Too far from comfort
You wanted everything
You built yourself up to be in hope of something great
Wanting something with all your heart
But that was all just a lie
I wanted to give you everything
All there was
I tried everything I could
To let you feel safe.
Simple words
That’s all it took to make you leave
So I’ve walked a mile and a half
In my footsteps and in yours
I’m sorry this ended up the way it did
But so far I’ve come to understand
That out of all of this
All I really lost was what
I wanted.
I couldn’t give it to you.
Because you never really wanted me.
