Master of Disguise
People go but how
They leave always stays.
Call it what it is,
A parting of ways.
If you want to test
My water on a whim.
Make damn sure,
You know how to swim.
It didn't kill me but something
Inside me died that day.
When she left me,
It took my breath away.
I struggle to tell
The days apart.
Feels like I'm right
Back at the start.
All I loved gone
In the blink of an eye.
I guess she had to
Spread her wings and fly.
I ride the proverbial
Red line.
I'm in a state of
Mental decline.
My temper flares, I'm angry,
I feel irate.
Irritated like a bear
That can't hibernate.
I sit here and watch
The airplanes fly.
I sit here and watch
The world pass me by.
There was a time I believed
It was me you needed to find.
I question that, when
You left me behind.
As the tears roll
Down my cheek.
The pain is so great,
Not a word I can speak.
My world cold,
A severe winter storm.
You were the heat,
You kept me warm.
When she ran away
The avalanche began
I'm cold and my heart
Is snowed-in.
I stop the tears,
Bring them to a halt.
I admit my part,
I own my fault.
If you look for it you can
See it in my eyes.
I play the part,
I'm a master of disguise.
