You were beside me and I saw your phone,
Scrolling, I realized it was not just me,
There was someone else, we were not alone,
I thought I knew you, but you're not well known,
You covering your face, you wanting to flee,
You were beside me and I saw your phone,
Your voice changing in a scared, afraid tone,
My heart broke and now I'm an amputee,
There was someone else, we were not alone,
In my mouth your words felt like acetone,
And you kept asking “do you believe me?”
You were beside me and I saw your phone,
Reflecting over how much we have grown,
Together, bad start to a family tree,
There was someone else, we were not alone,
We are both living in a toxic home,
Now screaming at you “just let me be!”
You were beside me and I saw your phone,
There was someone else, we were not alone…
