It is hard to keep my head up
When it is home to my heavy heart
And my back
Can only carry so much.

How can you say
I am not the center of the world
When yours so clearly revolves around me,
Pretending it is hers.

You say when I cry
The tears eclipse the sun
Because my eyes reflect
Aten's brilliant beams.

Well let him drown.
As I shed these tears,
So I shed you
And only the memories linger.

This is not sadness
This letting her be happy
And letting myself find happiness
At least I can enjoy the search.
