Don't be fooled into thinking
that I care more than I do
The feelings I express in ink
are never actually about you

Some emotions I still carry
passions from the past
They're more about me than you
I've sentiments to fill a space so vast

I will continue to compose
our experiences shared
Remember, it's not you that I miss
please let your feelings be spared

I hold onto the emotions
the 'idea' of the man
I enjoy the false fantasy
of a world with it's perfect plan

It's just that sometimes it feels so long
since I felt truly held dear
and in my times of loneliness
I'll pen sentiments and release tender tears
