Hidden

I guess I missed the part

where you decided

to leave me standing here

I covered up my nervous shaking

by burying my head in the sand

________

Am I slowly fading into a memory

or am I already there?

I think that you should trust me

before I’m long forgotten

we’ll never get this right

________

I’m pulling my hair out

watching myself bleed

I wanted to know if this is real

the side you hide

but keep just for me

________

Sad to say it had to come to this

but I really think I hate you now

It’d be nicer to be nice to you

but I can’t escape you

and I can’t replace you

________

I’ve cried too many times for you

without ever meaning to

I’m not broken but I’m bruised

blistered by your scorching stare

but I’m better
