Hello stranger
Its crazy to see
That time has passed
As though it
Failed to exist
This moment
Suspended in
Its hideous perfection
Preserved, unchanging
Just as painful
As the wound
Freshly inflicted
An ugly scar
Torn open
One too many times
Hello stranger
Is it me you’re looking for?
I’ve left that place behind
And I don’t live here anymore
I only said goodbye
So I could live my life
I knew you made your choice
And it left me high and dry
Without your love.
Hello stranger
I watched you walk away
Through tear filled eyes
And how I cried
But I stayed behind
To try and let you find
All that you need
The things I couldn’t be
Hello stranger
The person I once knew has gone away
To a place I’ll never know
And I’m reminded each day
Of all I’ve lost
Never to be whole
Or find my way.
I'm too far gone.
