Baggage Claim
You never belonged here
But for some reason, you comfort me whenever you walked through
You seep into my thoughts
My emotions
and make me let you in
After all those years, my closure shown through all the ruins
Your perspective is not the one I view in
I drew in love and sewed with the thread left within
Everyone bleeds red, the pen I write with is blue
I think back to a time I wasn't affected by you
Sitting
Alleviating
My feelings begin congregating
Keys flow but all that is heard
The forgotten talent that was kicked to the curb
To change anything, you need to accept it first
In retrospect, my fate quenched my thirst
My thirst to finally live
My thirst to grow
Not the pick your poison
But the "I choose me first."
The genuine smile that's not rehearsed
Diving into opportunities headfirst
The voice in my head saying, "Let Her."
The weight in my hands that has now
Disbursed
Crushed chords of melodic endings
Minor keys that turned into beginnings
Why turn your pride into greed
How did that set you free
At the door, you must leave
All that you've done to me
I give myself peace
