Infected
They say pain subsides,
They lie,
Soul now empty,
A part of me died,
Although you still live,
I know it's not the same to you,
Im a distant memory,
If a memory at all,
Maybe to you I never existed,
But the mark you left on me is forever,
For that I cant forgive,
It effects me daily,
And now all i'm left with,
Is this empty shell,
I appreciate it,
I really do,
Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,
All the memories they served me well,
To break my sanity,
My minds personal hell,
My soul tortured,
My perception changed,
And left with nothing,
Dont know which way to go,
Or if I should move at all,
Paralyzed in thought,
Inability to move,
I try,
My body isnt responding,
And Im left wondering,
Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,
It's been a while,
Still not the same,
But I manage to crack a smile,
You didn't destroy me it made me stronger,
And I had to move on couldn't linger any longer,
Time passes but wounds dont heal,
They turn to scars,
Remanants of pain endured,
A constant reminder,
Of what you put me through,
Lifes lessons come at a cost,
Another love lost,
My heart has started to frost,
Due to the coldness that was you.
Why dont you just die,
Disappear from my mind,
You remain unforgiven,
So why cant I get back to living,
Why,
Cant you disappear,
Even though youre not here,
You continue to infect me,
Continue to infect me,
