cease

days like today
i just want to be alone
yet still here i am
clutching the phone

nothing is fair
or what it seemed
maybe it'd feel better
if allowed to scream

what i want is long gone
or never exisited
exhausted of hanging on
to dried up wishes

time for putting the fire
in this heart out
no sense living for
what i'm going without

oh, to close my eyes
and not have to return
cease crying and longing
and hard lessons learned
