Lost Like That

Post by Jeni »

Your condecending smile will never break me down
I can see through your fake sympathies
Fake pity doesnt affect me anymore
Its time to take my life back
Now its my turn to show you more

I took the time to heal
Lost sight of what was real
Now I've found myself again
Its time I took the wheel

I will never be lost like that again
All it did was take more of me away
Asleep at the wheel
I couldnt see my life fading away
Nothing felt real
MY LIFE IS NUMB
Too afraid too decide
Just sat and watched
Through blind eyes
Watching from the other side

Now I am thinking of what you said, of what you did
You pulled the right strings
You had me going
Had me believing I was wrong
Nothing I could do
"There could only ever be you"
Sinking deeper into you as I lost sight of the fight
Knowing you were wrong
But too numb to care

Something inside of grabbed at me
Something inside pulling me back
Someone saying..

I will never be like that again
All it did was take more of me away
Asleep at the wheel
Nothing feels real
I couldn't see my life fading away
Too afraid to decide
MY LIFE WAS NUMB
Just sat and watched from the other side
Eyes were blind
I will never be like that again
I will never be like that again
I will never be like that again

cooool.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
