Wasted Breath

You never said a word; just let the silence fill the dialogue I got nothing in return, just emptied replies I opened my heart to you; I showed you all my demons The attic needed some light I said But you didn’t say much. Didn’t realise you were already slipping away. The deeper I dug, the farther you retreated. I wanted you to get to know the real me Show you a side of me I didn’t know how to silence I was such a fool to think you would be different, That you’d see through these demons that tried to control me, But I guess you couldn’t find it in yourself to save me, help me. I guess the dark scared that kid inside you; You couldn’t get your hands dirty. There were too many skeletons to bury, too many demons to slay at night. But the game’s over. You said more than enough, the pregnant silence gave birth to clarity. And after all this time….. The truth was facing me all the time, but I didn’t want to acknowledge it.
