#ByTheDoor Is it cold where you are Like it's cold where I've been For this long waiting for you To come home to the one You used to love deep inside Like an ocean beating hard Like the fire the consumes I'm still here and the nights are cold I'm by the door And I can hear the sounds Of footsteps out there But you're never coming in And I feel the cold nights and mornings Swallow me whole while I'm longing for Someone who used to love me When will I learn to let go? Is it safe over there now? Like it was when you held me Through the tears and the storms Does he give you what I didn't Or do you still want more? Because it's all that I had And I would give you everything if had it And had I only imagined what you wanted Was a fantasy world where the monsters Were beaten and we could always be happy I'd move faraway with you Where no one would ever find you and me But I'm still here and the nights are cold I'm by the door And I can hear the sounds Of footsteps out there But you're never coming in And I feel the cold nights and mornings Swallow me whole while I'm longing for Someone who used to love me When will I learn to let go? When will I open the door? Walk out there and call to the gods To forget who you were Are you him anymore? I still dream the fever dreams that you gave to me The love that you inserted into me When will I open the door So I can let you out of me and into the wind? I'm by the door And I can hear the sounds Of footsteps out there But you're never coming in And I feel the cold nights and mornings Swallow me whole while I'm longing for Someone who used to love me When will I learn to let go Of this love if this love isn't mine anymore? And I can hear the footsteps Of when you left me to hang on my own In our house, in our world That we built and now it's all gone I'm by the door, can I let you go? Holding a match, I need to let you go. I'm gonna burn everything to the ground And stay by the door till it's ashes and dust. #poem #lyrics #poetry #writing #letra #byme #insta #sky #clouds (at Gamboa, Ilhe De Tinharé, Bahía, Brasil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnO9RM6ORQL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
