static grove
Do you remember the day,
You were only seven,
Your first heartbreak,
Your friends didn’t want to play with you.
An emotion no age can escape,
An emotion everyone experiences.
The day your pet died,
The day that girl parted ways with you,
The day you didn’t get the job,
And you were forced to move on.
But you weren’t ready,
To let go.
You couldn’t get that last walk with your dog,
You couldn’t give that girl one final kiss,
You couldn’t prove you deserved the job.
How are you meant to just, live on.
Maybe you don’t want to,
Maybe you hate the emotion.
But the truth is that it helps you.
That snap back to reality,
That nothing lasts forever,
And you have to move on.
Thats why you create your own happiness,
Because you won’t break your own heart.
Because you’re scared of loving,
The sense of attachment,
It only comes with goosebumps.
So you do as you’re told.
You move on,
But you’re not quite the same…
