No Longer Shall I Dwell Poem by Dan Little

its late
im going to sleep
and every single feeling inside
i just can't seem to keep

i sprawl across the cloud
of which i run to every night
only to wake each morning
at the sight of day's first light

stretched arms across the sheets
as if they'd go on for eternity
cause every single morning
alone is what ill be

today, tomorrow, yesterday
nothing left to say
only careful words to etch in stone
because Alone
is what ill be

so i'll fall asleep tonight
and please, i need not fight
for tomorrow's another day to wake
to the sight of day's first light
to the sight of day's first light...

awake, awake, open my eyes
blurred vision as the light arrives
deep inside rests the fire that drives
and keeps my soul from it's demise
no more pain, from no more lies
i've mended these wounds
and fixed these ties

its because of you that i found me
though it only took a tragedy
to find the truth, that we cant be
and as hard as it was for me to see
that me and you will Never be
ill keep pushing forward
in your memory
i'm sorry i hurt you for hurting me
and that promise on the sidewalk
under the cover of that tree
will forever remain a memory

after i ended an era
not a word from you
just one from me
a simple message
on our anniversary
i hope hes the one
to truly make you happy
because a birthday spent alone
helped me to see
a future of us, will never be

so ill continue to push forward
and no longer shall i dwell
because at first the days without you
seemed like years and years of hell
however that is one story
that i dont think ill ever tell
of how you stole my heart away
and upon it, casted a spell

the damage caused is irreparable
so im only left to try
to find the pieces, though lost in darkness
with these tears that have run dry
and down these cheeks shall forever remain
a sad, and lonely stain
from tears and tears
that fell with pain
forever shall it remain.
