Disease of Your Affection

Disease of Your Affection

Don't lie to make me happy
I don't need a tainted charm
Your false feelings
Bring emotional harm

I am afraid of loneliness
Our love no longer true
But can I stand alone
Without leaning on you

Disease of your affection
Penetrating me
Your beauty like a virus
Attacking violently
Not to worry, I'll be fine

I'll make it through the day
But when tomorrow comes
I'll have the courage to walk away

---Derek del Barrio

The Hardest Thing To Do

The Hardest Thing to do in Life is Saying Goodbye

today i learned a lesson that will always be true
saying goodbye to someone is the hardest thing to do
i've never felt a loss until i said goodbye
i thought i was strong and i broke down and cried
never will i forget the times we had though the reflections are happy
it makes me rather sad the most brutal of men cries at the past
i only wish the good times would last so i humor myself i'd smile if i could why can't things work out?
because life isn't supposed to be that good
