It seems you trailed off to another dimension
Leaving behind the open wounds of ‘long ago’
Leaving my heart, dangling in suspension
I loved you more than you’ll ever know
Is it so easy for you to forget
Those who knew, who cared for you the most
Am I now only a mere silhouette?
Hanging around you like a ghost
A different person with the same face
This concept I cannot grasp
I can’t bear to see the pieces of yourself you erase
Cowering secretly behind this mask
They don’t know you, not like I do
Not that it even matters now
You remain stuck on my mind like a tattoo
But memories of me were easy to bury underground
Too weary, too mature, for the games you created
Stinging me with the words ‘not good enough’
Leaving me to watch you turn into someone you once hated
Why do you want to impress them all so much?
Behind the bits and pieces of yourself you reveal
I still see the same face under the ugly distortion you show
I long in solitude for that man you now conceal
The man I loved more than you’ll ever know
