Tarnished Promises

when I left you were sleeping miles from me in dreams not knowing I was leaving how perfect it all seemed tarnished promises that never were fulfilled my heart that needs more you don't get it still I could feel it getting smaller this shrinking love affair pensive in the moment weighing what was there indecisive minutes between the bed and door promise slips away as I walk across the floor my bags were always packed I knew this day would come how many times I tried you never let me run how long before you notice that I'm no longer there I packed it to take with me the love that we once shared
