Life is not in that bottle

My stomach flip flops
My heart pounds
My eyes burn
With tears reined

Why does it have to be so hard

I want to scream
I want to yell

I want to be told

It will be alright
It will be alright

It would be easier
To walk away

It would feel better
To run

But stuck here
I am
Another day

Stuck with
Thoughts
Memories
Dreams

The world goes on
It goes on without me

Oh

But they don't know
They don't understand

Those that do
Are too far away

Too far to give
A helping hand

My children whisper
Their fears
Their dreams

Their wants
Their needs

I know

I know if only

If only we could blink
Our world would change

Freedom

Free from hurt
Free from fear
Free from sadness

Free to feel
Happinesses light
Again

A daunting cloud
An ache felt in the soul

How to say goodbye
Where to go...

There's no where to go

Life is not in that bottle
She tells you lies

Plays you
Plays you
Plays you

No

Life is not
In that bottle

My love
My friend

It is here

With us
Around us

Beckoning you
Join in

Your desires heard

Your desire to stay
With her
Glued to your hand
Drowning in her deathly kiss

My soul
It mourns

What brings you bliss

In your darkness
We will not survive

In your darkness
We cannot stay

One More Try

It's her in that bottle
Or
Us

There's just no other way
