Selfish Roots

I've been dead for too long
And I feel as if you are reading this over my shoulder
You gave not a signal
Nor a vow
But I had cast myself out
For you I drank the deepest of lies and aspects
Of nothing but tainted smiles and dreams
For that I blame you
And this time you've killed me

It wasn't even a promise
That I pasted upon my lips,
Just a justification of my ultimate guess
I suppose you did not believe it anyhow
Contained in too many infections
Eating away at the core of myself,
My existence
This is where it melts
For you it slides itself away
In doubts and dormant days

I blew a kiss from this balcony of reassurance
And then I jumped off in revulsion
Of the simple fact
It could have been okay

Could you tell me the truth about what's and how's?
I'm holding you up to the light
To find something brand new and interchangeable
Tangible or dark
I hadn't given any thought about it either
Not one single time did I mention
Or cast away a foolish remark
But I must have led you to something
My footprints must have stained
More than a carpet
For you again,
I forfeit my name
And cool astounding moments
That I had rather given away

God, you must inform when this must end
Stuck to the bottom of your boots
That you left in the hall each day
A faded shaded passerby's mood
Or of a second in which I tripped
On all of those selfish roots
Thorns went blank with detachment
But I caught them just as crude

I'll build you staircases
If you would just come and see me once in awhile
I'll paint the floors all blue
Create the atmosphere that I'm here all the time
Separating flowers in a shoe
Supposedly, as the story must go
I'd give that all to you
It seems to stand at empty points now anyway
A vacant room or two…

Author notes

I probably couldn't be anymore straight forward without sounding foolish.

I don't know...What do you think?

    I love this part the most, well, just because it touches me the most:

    "I'll build you staircases
    If you would just come and see me once in awhile
    I'll paint the floors all blue
    Create the atmosphere that I'm here all the time"

    But of course the entire thing is brilliant, I was really taken in by it all, being able to relate to your metaphors...

    This expresses a clear message, with emotions intact, and I love it...of course
