As I move on into a fleeting future

You stay nailed to the past

To some ideal never meant to last

Why is it so hard to look past?

To see our failures as just that

I scorched you down to your bones

Made your skeleton my home

Let the remnants cage me in

Guaranteed we would never be again

This cage of guilt I've built for me sings of what I never hope to be

A monster, a disease

You were always better off without me

If me loving someone else is what it took for you to see

If this is what it took for you to hate me

I am happy
