Fighter's Bark

 

I’m out here smiling but hurting

Everyday I wonder what you’re doing

But I can’t reach you, you’re aching

So what I can do, I keep writing

About you, me, about us as if we were existing

When it’s gone, I forgot it was exhausting

Loving you was a game of compromising

Being with you was self-strengthening

The time with you felt very enlightening

Your presence to me was so fulfilling

I mean, that’s exactly the part that’s breaking

When you decided to go and I kept on barking

Hoping and hoping that you’ll hear something

What I really feel, what I’m perceiving

How I’m not done yet trying, slowly dying

But I guess I’m the only fighter remaining
