Old Habits Die Hard
It was Twilight who kissed me goodnight, not you...
But the memory of your lips still lingered.
Like a bullet lodged in the back of my head,
I couldn't forget nor ignore you.
Tears ran for the first time in a long time,
Memories soaked in a salty solution of emotion and pain.
I hate to let memories die,
But they rolled like tiny boulders as they plummeted into the abyss.
I refuse to let this end abrupt,
I refuse to just stand by and watch,
I refuse to believe,
I refuse to forget.
Conditions change as do the seasons,
And I know that people do as well.
But for now I know,
And I've yet to change.
Nothings the same without you,
Happiness isn't just a block away.
Like a lost puppy I searched,
But like an old dog, I remained loyal to you.
I cant decide whats best for you,
And I cant decide whats best for me.
But for now my heart lays next to yours,
I'm just waiting for it to roll over towards mine.

If I had met you long ago,
A time when life had less to hide.
A time when simpler thoughts prevailed,
A pure and tender heart

Goodnight my Love
Goodnight my love the bleeding twilight dies swift
Overshadowed by night’s dark air brushed monotone
I see the sadness in your eyes
Give me a smile and no more cries
I've fought and lost. Death you have won
As I drift now towards
