If you give me proof that you are different now
I would leave your mistakes in the past
The taste of your words is familiar
Matches the flavor of bait from lines cast
What I realized is that this is a game
Think ******** with my head is fun
Relationship must be a joke to you
Guess what
You are the only one
When I looked at obvious disregard
For feelings I shook my head
In disbelief you could be so cold
I so easily misled
Door open to you
So many years
Regardless how long you stayed
Was happy you graced me with your presence at all
It's time I put up a barricade
Your eyes would be shocked discovering
Not as weak as I've always seemed
It was stubbornness preventing freedom
Clutching tightly to future we dreamed
Such beauty and tenderness faded
Cruel reality laden with distress
Blind to surrounding hazards
Woke up too deep in this mess
Sitting amidst a plethora of problems
Above reach everything I want most
Projection of the life I could have had
Traded for shaky taunting ghosts
Both directions lay empty
Quiet
Swerve my neck left and then right
Around me is an abundance of air
I can't find any light
Everything I experience grey
Colors make haste
Retreat
Inside the dim stale atmosphere
Also a concerning lack of heat
For when I train my eyes upwards
Sun has vanished from the sky
That or I am being forced away
Rays are far too high
And I contemplate our ending
Have no choice but accept our fate
Memories will remain etched on my heart
One by one your feelings disintegrate
