As a muse you are beautiful and endearing.
As a person you make me sad
And I guess I just need to make the choice,
Because God knows I don't need to be sad.
I was sad for years and years.
Sometimes life hands you misery

Alone through hell and back.

I am never super sad anymore,
As long as I cry when no one is looking.
I break down for brief moments,

Dreams of a past without futures,
And axes to grind that I must keep...
