Everywhere
Manda Robey Sep 2014
I can't get away from you.
I'm here, I'm there, you're there.
You follow me always, everywhere.

There’s no escape from the heartache,
There’s no escape from the pain.
I hate my home, our home.
I can’t go in our room, I choose the couch.
I’m fading away, I can’t be here.
I’m losing it, just like I lost you.

I try to lose you.
I try effortlessly to lose the memories.
I try to lose the laughs,
they just won’t go away.
I want them to vanish like you did so easily,
you're everywhere.

I wrapped my life around you,
so many years lost.
I would have followed you anywhere,
you were my shining light.
I miss you more than anything,
but I know you’re gone forever.

I hate how much you still matter to me,
I hate how I still care so much.
Why do I do this to myself?
I hate that I can’t let you go,
I hate knowing how easy it is for you.

I never thought this would have happened,
we’ve made it through much, more than I ever thought I could handle.
I thought the rough waters were over,
little did I know they’d just begun.

You’ve changed so much,
but you’re my best friend.
You were my other half,
but now you’ve faded away.
You were my life,
but now you’re gone.

What happened to us?
Why aren’t you mine?
How did we let it get this far?
I guess I’ll never know.

— The End —
