Bittersweet and well said. I like the hope you show in this. Good read!

>It was never about my insecurities
>Only broken with the trust
>Lost with realization

>Let me down softly
>Let me go alone
>Don't regret the moment
>When you leave me on my own

>I'll make it home gently
>To turn off the lights
>And count all the stars
>Blessing the night
>While seething inside me
>I won't feel a thing
>Breathing the silence
>Lonliness brings
>Finding the shadows
>A good place to hide
>When tired of seeing
>What's missing inside

>Let me down softly
>Let me go alone
>Don't regret the moment
>When you leave me on my own

>I'll make it home eventually
>And box the memories away
>Locking up the emotions
>Strong enough to stay
>And hold back when the sunlight
>Begins to break the dark
>And shine upon the emptiness
>Deep within my heart
