One Hour

I'll give myself one hour of emptiness

To realize youre gone

And one hour of sadness

To miss your scent and your song

 

I'll give myself one hour of happiness

To rejoyce in my liberation

And one hour of mellowness

To believe this is a good transition

 

I'll give myself one hour to be full to the brim

To wring my fingers in worry and think of your skin

And one hour to run from the future

And what could have been

I'll give myself one hour to be roaring with fury

To shake my fist and slate you with all of my friends

And one hour to decide you werent worth my time

Gather the manhaters, and play the feminist song again

 

I'll give myself one hour of obsession

To analyze what went wrong

And one hour to pick apart the conversations

No matter how long

 

I'll give myself back the hour of utter emptiness

Where I stare at your presents and cry myself to sleep

Giving myself back the hour of sadness

And utter disbelief

 

I'll give myself the next 12 hours

To dream only of you

I'd give myself 12 hours

To dream of someone new

 

But the night it is sharp, vengeful and cruel

Peppering my dreams with our memories

So I'll wake up hopeful with you

This was so fantastic and vivid and almost like a page out of my own thoughts and situation. Well Done indeed!
