Just listen to my fears
To my heartache
And to my tears
Just listen to my anger
Understand I’m not mad
I’m just scared
Just listen to my hurt
Realize I want to fix it
I just don’t know how
Just listen to me
So I can be heard
In hope that I can just listen too
-Kevin Linder
Take some time and stare
Stare at me and see
See what you used to be
Take a rest and think
Think of what you used to be and ponder
Ponder what you long to be
Take a breath and dream
Dream of what you long to be and understand
Understand that you can
Gaze into me and see
See yourself and be
-Kevin Linder
Damn you for telling me you wanted to be mine
For telling me I was your everything
For telling me I should open my heart
Damn you for showing me the world
For showing me who you are
For showing me who we could be in the future
Damn you for restoring my faith in women
For restoring my faith in myself
For restoring my faith in love
Damn you for allowing us to fall into the same trap
For allowing other things to come between us
For allowing yourself to become numb
Damn you for not being there for me
For not letting me be there for you
For not fighting harder for us
Damn you for taking away our future
For taking away my happiness
For taking away us
Damn you for this pain in my heart
For this pain ripping my soul apart
For this pain that is killing me
Damn you for…this love I can’t get out of my heart
-Kevin Linder
