gone

all these pieces by Alistair Chong

this is it
broken down
the walls i try to hold
crumbled to the ground
this is me
a crippled mess
what used to be
now torn with emptiness
this is all
sleepless nights
empty days
just no more fight
is there anyone out
walking by
sit here with me
share my cry
are you there?
are you there?


Happiness by The Fray

Happiness is just outside my window
I thought it crash blowing 80-miles an hour
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that’s enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you’ll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home
Home, home, home
