I saw everything my love
But there was no revelation
Because I already knew

Our last supper together
Was not one to remember
Except that I do remember

It never felt that way before
Though we were able to smile
Our memory traveled far

The truth was no comfort
A lie made it easier to bear
There was always another day

I walked to an empty table
Only my glass would follow
Your strength became my thirst

But I wondered about you
Allure made men weak
Was desire all that you were?

I thought of the distance
Like traveling across the sea
I asked if it was the same for you

But I was talking to bare walls
Everything I painted was gone
You were looking for a different brush

I watched you laugh
Your friends made you forget
Though I held your hand

You were once an ornament
I loved that about you
But now what?

Even though I knew you
I felt very strange
You didn’t need me

When you lose the love
The love they felt for you
Then you understand why
