Love me just the same

If I lied

or made you cry

or didn’t try

would you still love me just the same

 

if you were alone

and never known

pick up the phone

only a few months away

in the dead of winter

 

but when spring comes again

so do you

your petals grow back

your dead thorns grow alive

 

so continues the circle

that encompasses life

you live, you suffer, ...

After The Life

Tick, tock, the seconds pass

as time continues to amass

what happens when your time is done?

has your legacy just begun?

 

everything you ever say

will come to meaning alive someday

but that little girl you complimented

will remember that all h...
