Stained

The footprints are still there
The ones you left on my chest
My heart still beats your name
I can't lay the rhythm down to rest

Staying high on your breath
But living low on sleep
Each day bears the reminder
Of what i never could keep

The loud silence surrounds me
But your voice lulls inside me
Whispering stay strong
Whispering move on

Twisted the thoughts come
Splitting in two
And I can only beg to wonder
Why my insecurity breaks thru

Nobody could possibly accept
Any of tomorrow's bold gifts
Gripping tightly regrets
And letting go of what-ifs

There's a purpose for everything
But i still don't know why
Loneliness resides in my back pocket
And foolishness in my blind eyes
