A Stranger Life

I long to be free

From all that depresses me

If one is too busy there is no need to be unhappy

My kiss dont make him stay

why are lovers treated so strange

he is the wind that blows through the day

 A mere shadow and I always know

Yet he breathed life in my Casper hearted ghost

Why is it this way?

Life can be cruel, life is sunshine and gray

I feel like a fool why are these feelings made

I guess we are nothing

why is human nature this way

I have decided to give the good guy a chance

I feel it wont do a thing

I cant seem to forget our ill fated romance

He goes to Alabama texts i wont forget your souvenir

when all i want is him here

i dont want to miss him but this feeling wont disappear

Yet he is still busy the three days before he goes

He is a mere shadow and I always know

Make me forget

I gave love and light

There is nothing to regret

I pretend I am angel

I am mere mortal

He was in my path

I just couldn't see

The ugly truth is even when i say goodbye

life depresses me

i try to focus on the new

Something has me holding on to you

yet you aren't here

you just get too busy for me dear

its nothing new

so why waste this time and be sad over you

because human nature makes us feel the things we do

so i write it on the page

As I pray Sweet God make it all okay.

i long to be free

from all this misery

yet so many people scream

why

mistakes were made

mistakes will be here always

how can i see straight

i am only human

why can't you love me

in the end what good will it do

there is no trust

how can we make love to someone

just for the fun

why separate the things that matter

oh its hard tonight as i watch all my dreams scatter

will i still get to kiss my mad hatter

i try to find better

all i want is you

were you real

or just the figment of a fake love letter

he is just the wind that blows

a mere shadow and I know

yet my heart is doomed to be this hollow ghost

waiting for you to enter waiting for just a drop of paradise

in a stranger life

A very heart-rending piece Butterfly. I think you described it perfectly in the lines:

"so why waste this time and be sad over you
because human nature makes us feel the things we do"

The heart wants what it wants, but in the end we don't truly control the thing we desire. We can't make someone love us the way we want and need. It is up to them to do so. You can only control the love you give and never the love that is returned. They have to want to love you the same. Many just can't unfortunately. Thank you for this truthful look at love in all its beauty and sadness.
