of someone gone
- beyond my reach
at a place I didn’t belong
But where I would be, if you wanted me
You instead came into my space,
a place of security…
Your apathy wooed me to come
to your side
Misunderstandings slayed me, and
wounded my pride
Your kisses were sweet, but touched
you nowhere inside
Like the depths of my nakedness
Where I had nowhere to hide
——
So how could you be concerned now
that I may fall apart?
That you couldn’t bear to deal
with the pieces of my broken heart?
As if the melodies of nights,
laying by your side was not enough
to bring me pain
Knowing that love was not the cause
that would lay me down again
In this state – where it’s just too late
to walk away unharmed
And it hurts too much to stay, I can’t
be around you uncharmed.
How could you use such a weak excuse?
Love’s had enough counterfeits to pay
Though your voice may linger through me…
I can’t hear a word you say.
