I thought that if I ignored you
That if I crowded my mind
And left no room for your memory
That you would go away
It's worked for others
All my friends that pledged
Their love to others and were spurned
Did this and succeeded
So why won't you leave
I should be over you
I should be angry
Not eternally sorrowful as I am
You fooled me so many times
I hoped and begged God for your favour
Thinking that maybe there was something I overlooked
Some glimmer of affection I had missed
I know better now
Years after this started I get it
And yet
And yet
My imagination takes flight during slumber
You are there willing or not
These my only glimpses of you
Make me dread the dawn
For I mourn a past that never was
And yearn for a future that will never be
My entire life I protected my heart
Only to have it shattered after all
What terrifies me the most
Is that I will live through this
Never moving on
And forever alone
I wish I was angry at you
I can work with anger and lash out
But I can do nothing about this void
Eating through me heart and soul
Nothing at all....
