La Paix (The Peace)

The aftermath of a breakup after being together 9 months.

A Broken Heart can be a tremendous feeling

Numbing, Sensational, It leaves your whole body reeling

Even at the end of our days, we are left gasping for air

And when I open my eyes, you are longer there

 

Your eyes, your green kind eyes

They were the truth that I saw between the lines

In front of the lies

Your eyes were ultimately your diguise

And my demise

 

The idea of love left us both gasping

And grasping

For each other, the idea

Holding on for just a little more time

 

And the moment then came

where alone on the dark street, I realized I stood

I've always been scared of the dark

And you weren't standing with me like you should

 

Progression I thought, regression in your reality

Made the hurt even worse, I felt my soul start to bleed

 

And for a day maybe a little more I couldn't help but cry

As even after you shattered my heart

I thought how you twice immediately kissed me goodbye

 

And then the third day, I opened my eyes

and as much as I could, I could no longer cry

I thought to the ache, the hurt, the betrayal

And in the places where tears flowed, they were no longer there

The idea of you that I fell in love with

Is long said and gone
And now I can't help but wonder

if you were ever there at all

No more hurt, no more tears
No more regret
The peace has taken over
No more time to fret

And regardless of my wonders
And knowing my first true love was you
You should have treated me better
And I know now I can move on without you
