Overflow

In this state of mind

I see

What is done

and what’s gonna happen now

I will bow to clarity

and believe in what I feel

For real, you have left

me behind, and you won’t come back

How can I just surrender to think

that now all is over?

Time for a goodbye

I’ve always wanted to walk by your side

but now you’re gone, and even if it hurts

let it overflow

Every time I think back to

all the things that together we have built

I shall cry all of my tears

and pretend it’s not for real

I swear I will try to be strong,

for me and for you

Even though standing up is so hard

I wish you were here now

Time for a goodbye

I’ve always wanted to walk by your side

but now you’re gone, and even if it hurts

let it overflow

[Recital - Lord Byron, When we two parted]

The dew of the morning

sunk chill on my brow

It felt like the warning

Of what I feel now

Thy vows are all broken,

And light is thy fame:

I hear thy name spoken,

And share in its name

In secret we met

In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget,

Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

After long years,

How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.
