There are some days when I

Can't seem to sob or cry

Because I've wasted so many tears

On being afraid of facing my fears.

The one thing that I fear the most

Is seeing you, or hearing you, especially

Since I have treated you like a ghost.

My heart can't take the pain anymore,

Not the gasping, the squeezing, or wheezing.

If I don't try to forget what once was,

I will never be able to face what will be.

When only my shadows have spoken

Just like my heart has been broken

I know not of what lies you told

Like a man you've sold

I know not of what future will be

Or what past has passed

My wounds are bleeding still

Your words heard endlessly

Like an echo in the darkness

There once was a man

His face forgotten

Only the words used as daggers remain

Is this what it is like to be broken?

I know not the feeling of bloodshed

Without blood

So let me forget these words you have spoken
