Troddle

I don't remember you
Your name is simple, I'm sure of it
I don't think you exist in my brain
You used to have a moniker

I don't place you
Your voice is so loud, I promise
I can't recall your face
Your throat sounds like you swallowed rocks

I don't know who you are
You used to be so new, I think
I think about anything but you
Your face was so shiny before

I don't know you like I used to
Your sound is a shadow, I believe
I can't remember the scent of your shampoo
Your music has turned dark

I don't remember you
You left me so long ago, I recall
I think your shoes sound different
You left once

Why have you returned?
