As the day turns from a bright yellow to a purple and pink hue
It is so beautiful it makes me think of you
The cumulus clouds represent the imaginary thought bubbles over my head
That replay all the words you’ve said
A gust of chilled air brushes against my cheek
Like the way your lips do ever so meek
How slow the world does move
Almost as if to say it approves
“Let’s savor the moment of these two”
I always picture yours out of all the faces
Your love resides in beautiful places

I know you feel as if your feelings are engulfing you and you're drowning
The universe so vast and you are just a tiny fragment
But your soul is so bright
It lights up a room even in the darkest of places
Warm happiness even in the coldest of spaces
If only there were more
Like you

I love you with my heart and soul
Made sure I was safe and kept my stomach full
Taught me how to ride a bike and how to park a car
When I need you you're never too far
But see you only have 100 years to live
And I want to see you make it that far
But the way you're drinking is leaving deep scars
You have to know the bottle has control over you
Everyday you have to have more than just two
You guzzle and you stumble
And when I look in your eyes sometimes I don't see my dad but just some drunk guy
I've seen how liquor slowly destroys
So I have to say thank you because it's something I'll always avoid
Don't be stubborn for once just listen to me
I wish you could look through my eyes and see what I see
Your health is in a downward spiral
I would do anything to see more sober smiles
But alcohol can take over your mind
And eventually it will be all you're ever trying to find
Do it for yourself, your family and me
Get on your knees for God and plea
I pray you realize before it's too late
Honestly I'm not sure how much more you can take

Me and you were once one
Like a knot so tight it can't be undone
But we fell
We fell like a glass plate that hits the ground and now there are a hundred shattered pieces
And I know that you can feel this
This pain that lingers in my chest
Because you always told me I was the best
But treated me like the worst
The way I looked deeper than your outer appearance was a first
I saw right through you and I knew your heart
When everything started to shatter it's hard to find the start
Because one day it tasted so sweet and the next it turned sour
Your hands would love me and then fight me the next hour
I'm just trying to fit the pieces together
But most got ruined from the rainy weather and now they don't connect
When we loved the sunshine was perfect
And I cant remember the last drought
If you ever really cared is what I'm trying to find out

I hate the dial tone
And I hate the 'you have reached' before I hang up the phone
The silence between us is not golden
And every step I take is heavy with burden
You ignore me so you can move on
But I know your heart is screaming to hold on
Because my heart is screaming too and kicking me in the chest to try and reach you
The sound of your voice would be so sweet to my ears
And knowing you're alright would be all I need to hear
Because knowing your happy would help me get by
I would tell you I'm okay too even though its a lie
I would end the conversation with an I love you
And you would say you love me too
Then we would hang up and go back to living like we never knew

Out of all the thoughts that get jumbled in my head
And come out of my mouth in silence or in words that make no sense
One thing I can always say in the truest form is I love you
I'm sorry
That I can't always say what I mean
But I hope that you know
When I think of the person that means the most
My thoughts lead to you
When you're next to me
My eyes can't help but stare at you
Near or far
My arms will always reach out for you
I feel it in my chest
My heart beats for you

There's a missing piece
I've searched a lifetime trying to find
A void I can't get out of my mind
A missing piece
Could it be found in another heart, a lover?
I've looked everywhere, undercover
Constant in my thoughts leads to restless sleep
A part of me gone I yearn to keep
Maybe it's in the space I occupy
Tell myself I'll find it
False lullaby
A missing piece
The puzzle of me incomplete
