how does it feel?
how does it feel?
i often wondered but never endeavored
into the risk and hurt and pain i'd heard of.
i found solace in solitude long before
i even knew what to call it.
how does it feel?
you appeared and suddenly i found comfort
in the warmth of our tonights and tomorrows
the halls of my mind now echoed with laughter
and i threw myself into the free fall with you
how does it feel?
in front of golden lights we promised
to care for and love one another forever
we built on our love and it grew strong
and for once i felt i had a home.
how does it feel?
one shivering morning i noticed
the glimmer was gone from the amber of your eyes
and my heart began to sink as your hand fell away
i knew it was ending and i felt the sinking of my stomach.
this is how it feels.
i love you but not enough to heal you.
you are going away with my heart in your pocket.
the halls of my mind now echo with screams and cries,
because i know how it feels to love, lose, and be lost all in a lifetime.
