Tormented Achievement

TORMENTED ACHIEVEMENT
Sometimes I can’t get it 
Out of my mind
That pieces of me
Have somehow died
The knowing and realizing
That I lied
Not only to you
But to myself as well
I told you I could
Make it on my own
So we let each other
Go our own way
That day
Here I am now, grown
And so very alone
So many things to say
But all my feelings
Seem to keep getting in the way
Can’t cope with the
Day to day
Memories of you
And how we were
Haunt my every
Waking moment
Damn it, it’s such torment
Cause I look around
Knowing it’s to our
Own lives we’re bound
And wonder why can’t love
For us come back around
We may have drifted
So far apart for so long
There may be no chance
To carry on with what
We let go of years ago
It’s this I’ve always known
All along, such a sad song
Yet keeping in mind
Anything is achievable
And emotions are hard
Sometimes to be believable
Hold your head up they say
And always remember
Maybe not today
But don’t let your heart
Be filled with sorrow
Because just maybe
He’ll call you tomorrow
