Morning greets me but I didn't call it
Dawn won't wash out of my hair
A pool of sunlight slips past my shoulder
Illuminating what you left bare
Look at these eyes
Lost my aspirations
I've been stuck in the memory of you
For many years
And many tears
Have come waiting for your spell to break me
Look at these hands
Burdened by your debris
Gently burned by the love you would give me
For many years
And many tears
Would fall convincing myself it was just me
My shadow dances around the windowsill
Catching rays like fireflies
I know your voice is only a memory
Yet it whispers, daylight will set me on fire
Here in my mind
I hear your words of poison
Tainted spells
That molded my worth
For so many years
While many tears have come
Convincing myself I was nothing
I was a stranger
To the face I see
A reflected savior screamed out for me
For so many years
And many tears have fallen
Forgiving myself for leaving
