After you left me alone
my heart was as cold as stone
like some kind of bereft widow
feeling damaged, and feeling ruined..
l used to cry night after night
into my pillow
slowly I began to gaze up at the sky
I noticed the sun...
I admired the light
my spirit was revived
Yeah, my life had just begun.
Now you're just a faded memory
like the coffee stained photograph
that I came across today
I had locked them up
tucked them away..
so you could be a faded memory
distancing you from me
rebuilding myself
with a newfound reverie
to forget the past, and your misery..
like when I made you go away
on a mid-December day
there's still a black spot
by the door...in the hall
where I through your shoe
n' missed your head
hitting the wall instead..
I said...
"We're done...we're through..
I'm so fed up with you!"
Until I found this coffee stained photo
I'd almost forgotten
all the different shades of you
when you left me wearing...
nothing but black n' blue.
