There you are
An old familiar friend
You were there at the start
And you’ll be there at the end

You had been away for a while
But I didn’t miss you
It’s a strange notion
Feeling blue

You’ve made me numb
To my brittle bones
You’ve made me feel
Not at home

A familiarity that’s jarred
A perspective that's scarred
A knot so tight its shakes my hands
And then
Departs

As swift as we were together
We are now apart
My stomach that felt full
Now feels starved

I was never good at goodbyes
For us, a near impossible task
There’s an empty space
That you had carved

We had been one for so long
So now I ask
Do I miss you?

It’s a strange notion
Feeling blue
You do not love me and you never did, or that's just what I tell myself...
