As Real As Can Be

As Real As Can Be

By: Tyler Ross

I had a calling

All this writing that I do

Felt all my reflections help me from thinking about you

I made the most of it

Fought every urge and blocked you from my head

My will was strong, but you went away and died instead

Tell me I’m wrong

For my choices I’ve made

The easiest thing to do was forget your name

It’s too fucking hard to think you are gone

So, I pen these words hoping all along

This was your time

And I’m still here

It should have been me

I now suffer year after year

We both knew it should have been me

You were perfect for this world

As real as can be

My life is a cycle

Repeating mistakes after mistakes

I don’t believe in heaven

And I don’t believe in fate

But you did and I’m still here

Reaching for the sky I just can’t relate

I tried my best and so did you

I just wish I could say sorry

I live with a brain bruise with only the blues

Fuck you!

The last laugh leaving me in this torn up mood
