Oh, I was swallowed by your kindness And the way it used to feel In the sanctum of your eyes it seemed my aching wounds could heal But it's gone cold and lucid now, And you've found someone else. And though I try to block you out I'm chained to you in this hell
And I wish I could just ignore The pale glow of your ghost in the distance The lingering warmth of your absent touch The cruel invasion of unwanted memories My tired eyes have rusted shut
I wished you all the best And I guess that wish came true But you've left me empty hearted Broken and confused
When I see you now, Your face is unfamiliar When I hear your voice, I wonder who you are Is it because of how I so lovingly enshrined you? Or have you become someone else?
And I wish I could just ignore The pale glow of your ghost in the distance The lingering warmth of your absent touch The cruel invasion of unwanted memories And the way my tired eyes are rusted shut
Oh well, I wished you all the best And I guess that wish came true But you've left me empty hearted Broken and confused
I ******* wished you all the best And it seems that wish was granted But you've left me with an empty heart Shattered and dismantled
This poem makes me laugh now! It's been so long since I've felt this way about the subject it always catches me off guard when I read it. It fits the theme of stuff I've been posting today though (ie, bitter and miserable), so I figured 'why not?'
