I Thought Wrong

[Alex Djaferis]

I Thought Wrong

Would it be wrong for me to say
That I’ll be scared the next time we meet?
The embers burning inside my heart
Are still warm on the brim

They singe the sadness
Radiate my hope
They dance on the ashes
Trying to awake the dream

I guess that’s all it was?
A dream manifest as love?

Now I breathe the foreign air
One of loneliness and despair
I counted the days and
I laid my eyes where they could not be found
My heart set into the ground
My mind set to the sky
Please tell me why I did this
Why I thought I’d try?

The pleasures of waiting have been dismissed

You didn’t pain me in any words you said
You didn’t kill me with any intent on hurt
For I killed the life I should have lived long ago
I killed the mind when I decided you were the one
I killed my heart when I offered it to you
I gave you my life and anything else I could find

I was not worth the wait
So I choose that you be not worth my ache

Goodbye my friend I wish you the best
As I always did, but never found
Goodbye Anna I thought you were the one
I thought wrong
