You were taught to turn off the lights when you leave. You never forgot so when you left me.
You said a lot. Words can't move a rock, but your words were able to shift me.
They took me miles away from this place while I'm still in this place.
I was that one face you wanted to replace.
I resisted too much, but well, well done. You've done it well.
It's only cost me a wet pillow and a broken heart as you can tell.
