You (my reflection)

Things haven't changed between us

We still sit here in the silence

Ignoring that ever cliché elephant

 

Just to hear you sigh sets me ablaze

My anger rushing through me

Unsettled because of your deceptions

 

Picture me in the way you always have

Little angel beauty, sweet as sugar

You have never been so wrong

 

The things you did changed me

They shouldn't have the power

Even though they do

 

To be here with you

In this small room

The silence too quiet

 

I cannot stand this anymore

I have to leave here, I have to go

Don't call me back, I'm no longer you
