"No More"

FORGIVE AND FORGET,
NEVER REGRET BUT IT PUMPS THROUGH MY VEINS LIKE A POISON.
I CAN’T GET IT OUT,
ITS MY OWN FAULT THAT ITS PLAGUED ME FOR YEARS BUT I FEEL LIKE I CAN’T DO ANYTHING BUT FEAR MY NEXT ENCOUNTER.
THERE’S NOT A DAY THAT I DO NOT GO WITHOUT IT,
THIS THOUGHT PERVADING MY MIND,
I WIPE AWAY MY TEARS BUT MUST STILL RECOGNIZE THAT REGRET IS AS UNAVOIDABLE AS DEATH.
AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER YOU WILL SECOND-GUESS YOUR OWN DECISIONS BUT MINE HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN YOU MAY BELIEVE.
YOU SEE I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE
THE PROBLEM IS MY SLEEVES HAVE FALLEN.
THEY NO LONGER OCCUPY THAT SPACE ON MY ARM
BUT INSTEAD OCCUPY WHERE YOU TREAD ON THE FLOOR,
ITS BEEN WALKED ON, STOMPED ON AND KICKED THROUGH THE DIRT,
THERE REALLY IS NOTHING MORE THAT CAN MAKE ME HURT.
BEEN THROUGH LOSS AND PAIN,
STRUGGLE AND STRAIN,
WATCHED PEOPLE DIE AND HAD OTHERS BASICALLY SPIT IN MY EYE WHILE I WAS DOWN.
I’M NOW DROWNING IN YOU,
NOTHING CAN GET ME THREW,
I’M PUNCHING MY WAY OUT WITH ALL I HAVE
BUT THE WALL JUST KEEPS REBUILDING!
YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME ALONE,
YOU WON’T WALK AWAY,
I’M DONE WITH YOU WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LEAVE!?
NO MORE PLAGUES! I WANT MY HEART BACK ON MY SLEEVE!

JUST GIVE IT BACK…JUST GIVE IT BACK.
