Center of the Universe
I was never the center
of your universe
a small role I played
completely unrehearsed
when the curtain fell
roses were not received
I take my final bow
and slip away unseen
maybe you will feel me
in the sweet breeze that blows
maybe I am with you
everywhere you go
maybe a line from a song
will bring the memory back
never looking deep enough
only seeing what I lacked
a present tied with ribbon
a gift of all that I want
slowly it diminishes
ghosts and all of the haunts
I'm the center of a universe
where I always wanted to be
it is not your universe
that's now alright by me
