I sold your smile
and got my own
It's not as bright
but it's still my own
I wake from your dreams
and came up with my own
They are not as happy
but they are still my own
I cast off your name
and took back my own
It's not as special
but it's still my own
I cut up our pictures
and made them my own
They may be smaller
But they are still my own
I took away your girl
and brought back myself
I may be lonely
but I will always be myself

Very depressing outlook on the subject. But I could definetly feel the love you still sorta feel for the other person. But the longing to just be yourself again. Very good write! Thanks for entering. Good luck!
