Gone
Came down on me
Without warning
Nothing seemed out of place
Or so I thought
All of your words of amor
Turned into slits of a dagger
Shattering my heart
Until it’s all just dust
Couldn’t even blink
Bluntly spoken
All of your alligator tears
An additional pinch of salt on the wound
Who knew your reflection was so contorted
Shame that you didn’t believe in the magic
Wouldn’t even want to try
How you can take it all and pour it down the sewage drain
Such a pity
And you should be sad
Can never fill a hole that never stops needing more
Aching for more
You just needed me
To be your comfort pillow
Because you had no one else then
You only had me
And I was there at your worst
Now you don’t want me at your best
Because you gave up
Only wanting what he can get his hands on
Regretting the saran he lost and let go
And that’s how
You become a boring old man in the corner scoffing
All the while collecting dust
Letting time fly past you
I believed in us
But now I only believe in karma
And now you’re dead and gone
