Locked Inside of Me

[Lyrics and Poetry]

Inside of my heart

Are memories of you?

The scars are left open

From the pain I go through.

Before I move forward,

I need you to know.

It’s so easy to love you,

But so hard to let go

You won’t understand this,

Because you never knew,

That behind all my games.

That I cared for you

Oh, I made mistakes,

That I cannot retrieve,

But I know I’m to blame,

They caused you to leave

And as my days move forward,

And I try to move on,

I still carry you with me,

Like you haven’t gone

And on the days, I have peace,

And you’re not on my mind,

You’re in my dreams,

I can’t leave you behind.

And you think it’s funny,

As you play your game,

But every smile you fake,

Is causing me pain

Every one text greeting,

It brightens my day,

But as soon as I answer,

You no longer play.

But try as I may,

What can I do?

I have a new life now,

I’m worthless to you.

I must move forward,

And control my heart,

But your memories are haunting,

And I’m torn apart.

And the hardest part is,

When I finally go,

Your life will continue,

You won’t even know.

As I cry these tears,

I know I’m to blame,

Love is not easy,

Loves not a game

I didn’t think it would hurt,

Or that I’d be so sad,

Losing someone,

That I never had.

And I feel horrible,

And I hate that it’s true,

That I love this,

The way I love you

And no one knows,

The pain that I feel,

Wounds bound deep,

That just won’t heal.

The heart is so fragile,

And we never know,

How much that it hurts

When we’re forced to let go
