I know I've been betrayed when my red flower smells this way.
How another's scent sticks & wipes away the innocence.
How my nose knows how a rose is supposed to smell, but I can tell the way the embers fell you don't remember me the way you did.
Got my petals all sticky with sin.
I'm sick with sore eyes, & lost in my own mind but
I'm not surprised- I mean that
& you aren't real- now I see that
& invisible, trust me- I'll be that
& don't worry about me I'll be fine I won't say I wasted my time but just know
I'm gettin' mine,
& you keep gettin' yours.
This is just another lesson, we live and learn.
I can't feel regret- maybe we ran our course
but that wall I broke down will be reinforced.
