He turned to me and said those words
that hurt so bad because I knew they were true
He rubbed my back and warmed my soul
Then fractured my heart in half when he spoke
"I won't be coming to visit you again.
I just can't manage and baby you're so far gone
That who you used to be is just a couple
of aged photographs sitting on my desk at home"
I looked around the sparsely decorated room
At the bars on the windows and the nurses with their keys
For the millionth time I wished the voices in my head
Would just allow me to open up myself and speak
But I sat there silently staring straight ahead
And i felt knives inside ripping through my chest
The pain was deep and I knew his words were on target
But Idesperately wished the scizophrenia would let go of me
And let me come back to life and be his girl again
He patted my shoulder when last time
and the nurse with her keys
Led him through the locked doors
It was only then that I was able to cry
Author notes
I used option three "Baby, you're so far gone, that who you used to be is just a couple of aged photographs"
I'd stare at the sun for you, allow myself to go blind, because your face is etched in my mind anyway
