An Empty Life

This country is empty 
It is long gone 
For the days of adventure 
And truth 
Lie written in our history books 
Soon to be burned and forgotten

And the days our grandparents 
Yearn to get back 
Will never come back 
And we'll be stuck here 
Forgotten 
In a country so divided 
We destroyed ourselves

  • A piece of my past

    "After time passes it'll hurt less" 
    But it never did 

    "Just forget it, it was so long ago"
    But you told me always to remember 

    And each and every day 
    A little reminder in my eyes 

  • I'll miss you

    I'll miss you 

    I'll miss you every time I hear that song 
    And every time I feel the need to tell someone something 
    That I know they don't need to hear

    I'll miss you every fall 
    And every winter
