She looked up into the city sky
Gloomy and so dark
She looked down into the city life
Dropped her heavy heart
She hoped someone would catch it
Hear its beats of angst
Free her soul from sadness
Run through its lonely dance
One last time she took it all in
Thinking of the past
But which one was she dwelling upon?
Forever ago or the last?
They all start to blend
All these versions of herself
The new ones and the old
The different stories they all tell
A look up to the cloudy heaven
Another deep below
One glare all around her
At the city lights that glow
Tomorrow she will go
Really push reset
Start a new beginning
Remember but forget
Remember the happiness
The innocence that was lost
Forget the painful memories
The consequences the cost
The cost of love was high
She paid it full in price
She didn’t think she’d sink the first time
But for the last she took the dive
Plunged into knowing
Her fragile heart could break
But remember it was broken to begin with
But it still needed to awake
Wake up and smell the beauty
Feel all he has to give
All he has to offer
Remind her how to live
To live is what she came for
Reflect, heal, and discover
The lonely her that suffers
W/out the scars that linger
Without him she will find
The true person she could be
Her value and her worth
How to finally break free
Free from his grip,
His relentless hold
Cut the string she dangles from
The chains been broken, it’s time.
Time to move, Time to prove
She’ll make it out just fine
She’ll come out victorious
Do what it takes to survive
So say goodbye
Make it count this time
It was fun while it lasted
But take a look and cry
Cry that last tear over it
Over all the lies and games
July is nearing, June is clearing
Look past all the pain
It’s over and she knows it
One last glance at the view
Remembers exactly 3 yrs ago
The same thing she set out to do
Heal those scars
Collect them in a jar
That jar of heart and feelings
Icy soul torn apart
The Lonely will remain
Always present in her life
But speak up, speak out and fight
And Out of the silence she will arrive
A new dawn, a new day,
A new month, a new beginning
A new place, a new heart
A new her she’s bent on finding
Find the good
in all these goodbyes
In all these tears
streaming from her eyes
Take one last look
Below and up above
Breathe in the view
Of the city she so loves
One last thought
One last reflection
One last moment
For this rooftop’s confession:
The city lights that see her
The city sounds that scream
The city that never sleeps
The city of hopes and dreams…
Will never leave her alone
It’s there for the taking
But the days she’ll still feel sorrow
Are hers for the making
She loved him and she cries
Confronts all those inner demons
She’ll battle them forever
Fight for blissful freedom
But it’s harder than she thinks
Doesn’t let all the people know
How much it aches and bleeds
How much further she has to go.
From this rooftop she lets it drop
To the city streets that accept it
Climbs down the fire escape to retrieve it
To fix it and finally believe in it.
