They tell me I’m experiencing a loss

they expect me to move on

it hasnt even been a month

If I knew that was the last hug

I would’ve held on for dear life

You should still be here

they can’t put me at ease

they say anything they can

to save themselves

not admit their faults

I’ve had enough

You’re gone

she’s still around

doesn’t anyone see what’s wrong?

does someone care?

I was told to speak up

now that I am

its falling on deaf ears

If I knew what I know now

I would’ve saw you that day

I would’ve worked through the pain

Getting weaker by the day

don’t really care

about anything anymore

I never thought

I’d ever be back to square one

all I know is I’m done

the monsters have moved
from under the bed.
they're living all around you,
all throughout the life you've led.
the demons no longer reside underneath,
but are the reflections
in the mirrors,
staring back at you and me.

I used to think we built this monument
To tell the world that we are free
To remind that we will always be here
To prove them wrong every time

It was an edifice of victory
An architecture of glory
An ode to the young and heartless
That would speak of our love forever

I see we built for other purposes
It was built to remind you
And help you to remember us
Without it, you knew you would forget

That’s why you made it
You were planning for the day
You wouldn’t remember me
Like Peter Pan, you were afraid to forget

We constructed a memorial
A shrine, not a work of art
This edifice is my gravestone
I helped you make it, not knowing

I’m so glad we made it
I look at it every single day
Though I never forget a thing
It’s made for you, not me

The world may see it and wonder
Children may play on it and never know
But you will know and be reminded
Because this monument tells our story
