Well of a World

finally letting this one go...
(6/1, 6/18)
It must be nice, to be able to get up and walk away...
to turn your back, avert your eyes, move your feet
and leave me behind.

It must be nice to have some peace,
to close your eyes, enjoy your dreams, grasp your freedom
and leave me behind.

It must be nice to be able to take a break...
to avoid conversation, retreat from your feelings, disconnect
and leave me behind.

It must be nice to breathe freely...
to reject the ache, move on with your life, cut all ties
and leave me behind.

When you look away, I still see your face.
I'm moving on, yet you still keep your place.
I try to believe, that time will heal all pain
but as you are carefree, my heart's still in chains.

You took our love for granted, you said you need to be free.
Now you have your freedom, but my heart won't grant my release.

Time hasn't treated me fairly, it hasn't sealed my cracks.
Distance hasn't made my heart grow fonder, just a little older.

Look at you babe, you make about as much sense as a nursery rhyme.
What happened to us, I won't ever understand.
But I'm taking back my heart because I deserve a chance.

A chance to learn, to open up....
and let someone love me... dare I let someone love me
as much as I loved you. I deserve a love that flows freely
a love that holds me, elates me and moves me.

I deserve a love that stays, a love that's firm,
a love that's tough yet a love that will soothe me.
I deserve a love that looks out for me.
A heart, that will open wide into a well of a world
only meant for me.

That was never in you.
