Strangers Again

by Jack Nightengale   Mar 29, 2022


Living in the light in the light when the moons up,
Afraid of the day when the sun shines cause my mind can't keep up.
Always afraid to be in last place because I know that first will never be mine,
Constantly struggling to try and make something even with all these thoughts in my mind.

I can't be what you wish of me,
Because what I want can never be achieved,
It's too late and times gone,
Got me thinking to myself, wondering where I went wrong.

I sacrifice my everything just to watch you smile while I'm suffering,
A family is what I wanted to start but it seems you've already got that part,
When there are problems I forcefully try to change myself, and I'm still struggling,
When my heart aches and my hands shake, you don't see it because of how much we grown apart.

The closer I try to get the more you seem to grow distant,
When I go silent it's an issue and I'm villain, for ever cause and every instant.
For years we've been doing the same dance and I'm still here waiting, suffering in the pain you've cause but will never say it,
Like a broken hour glass, I've pieces missing and the sand is gone so the trash is where I make it.

What else can I do to prove what I feel is true, to get you to see?
Is it just the fascination of fantasy or do you really see me?
But I guess, we're strangers again and these questions are pointless once again,
Guess this is when I walk out, be seen as the bad guy because I finally decided to give in.
