It was a truth I had stated before
No one in this world is unique enough to not be replaceable
When no thought has been original for 50 years
History repeats itself on a daily basis
And life has the same rhythm every single day
How could you think, for even one second, that you’re special?
Friends come and go.
Loves burn out one after another
Trust wilts and faith slowly extinguishes
Your touch suddenly feels cold.
And her eyes suddenly look empty
When they used to be warm.
Your hands burn for her, and I?
I turn to ice next to you
The rock on my chest freezes
Grows heavier too
Icicles form that prevent the next person
to come even half as close as you
As you _could_ have
As _you_ would have
As you _should_ have
I hope you keep my gift as a rememberance of me
Of what you used to have
And maybe even could have had.
That you’ll one day look upon it and think
****
That was special
I could have had it
But you won’t. You won’t even care
You will have replaced me with someone else
Someone better
Someone smarter and prettier and easier to see through
And you’ll never look back
Cause after all
Which one of us is not replaceable?
