Detach

You are weak, and I am a wonder I am immovable, and you were a blunder Never again will your ears hear the sound Of my voice or the words of me coming around Your eyes will not rest or gaze upon me Our lips will not touch, this moment I'm free It was you who choose this, it was not I I've pined and I've prayed and I've hoped I would die But no more - it ends now, you cease to exist And shall be wiped clean from my mind, I'll persist And I'll fight and I'll shut you out And the memories, and wine, and us rolling about Are erased, extinguished, and sapped of their joy And the base hopes of a simple, soft boy Who wanted and needed and waited and pleaded And greeted you every moment and day Will lay by the side of the road and decay Like an animal who froze and was crushed Cracked and broken, those words in my stomach Never again to be spoken I'll never look back at this path that you choose I'll be gone, gone, gone, away and away Not waiting and hoping to again be your prey I'll be gone, but I'll be there the same Like a cancerous tumor that grows in your brain And grows to a point of pressure and pain When you realize the wonder you tossed aside And all of your fancy new dreams subside When the cheap pleasure you choose to replace Will stare you down in your old woman face You'll slip back to that wonder I was And you'll cry and feel that anguish Each day 'till you die
