Fifteen Minutes

as I slipped through your past
without leaving marks or a trace
I can't say the same
there's only me to blame

you crawled in under my skin
I can't shake you free
there must be a reason
that my mind's imprisoned

my fifteen minutes of fame
expired fortnights ago
but yours still stays with me
buried to a deep degree
