Left behind
You chose to leave
Now it looks like you’re leaving your family
There’s a cavern in your ribs
Where your heart used to be
I’ve been picking up what’s left of you
Connecting your pieces to my memories
Hoping they would ignite some sentiment
But they won’t inspire sympathy
The hollow point may have ripped you apart
You disregard the damage you’d impart
Rest in peace to our ancestry
That you maimed and left scarred
My judgement is clouded by the blood we share
We built our truth on top of all these lies
I still see the good in life
It’s not the end, although you see the light
I’ll see you on the other side
Maybe one day you’ll care
But it’s not my cross to bear
I didn’t skip a beat
When I heard the news that you
You couldn’t make it to your feet
All I have is apathy
Just another day of not knowing what to believe
Another tale another story
A lifetime of perjury
I wish I had the words to say I love you.
I’m not sure I understand what those mean when I’m thinking of you
I have no words for you
When I needed you, you wouldn’t even hear it
You made your choices
You’ll live with them even if we’re gone
It’s impossible to find what’s real in all these fables
Unable to see through the resentment you’ve enabled
The hurt that you inflicted on yourself
Won’t amount to the pain of everyone else
I always wanted things to be different
Although you see the light
I’ll see you on the other side
We built our truth on top of all these lies
I still see the good in life
It’s not the end, although you see the light
I’ll see you on the other side
