The Life We Had

The Life We Had

A Poem by Dug
"

A childhood that I didn't need any help in screwing up

"

life is sad
when you don't realize what you have
cause it's the only thing you know

i was unprepared
for a world that didn't care
i panicked and then took it out at home

---

life didn't get very far
until we fell apart
and now i know how precious it was

i miss the life we had
but i can't take it back
and all that's left is memories and dust

---

it's ok
for you to treat me this way
it helps me to atone for what i've done

it's insane
but it helps to numb the pain
when you tell me all the things i'm doing wrong


---

life didn't get very far
until we fell apart
and now i know how precious it was

i miss the life we had
but i can't take it back
and all that's left is memories and dust

i'm lost without you here
and my mind is filled with tears
now that everything is torn apart

it's been a real long time
but it's still on my mind
back before the troubles that i caused

I think most of us can embrace this words and relate to them,
Its when we lose someone we lose our future, and our past,
its really hard when we love someone so much, but they are out of reach,
great work, ---mishy

A lot of what's on here are song lyrics (plus a few random short stories when my imagination wanders). I write music, but I've been trying to focus on the lyrical side of things. Words and music when.. more..
