I take it back

My broken dreams

Have set you free

And so it seems

Free from me

I used to think of this

Of life alone

Now it’s you I miss

As I reap what I’ve sewn

You are not you

Not anymore

Not the girl I knew

The one I adore

For in her place

Where you once were

Wearing your face

As it shifts and it stirs

Is a shadow I don’t know

A form I can’t place

With intentions so low

In the gutter they scrape

I don’t have to think

Of a time long ago

When my heart it would sink

When we could talk to and fro

But it seems like forever

Like years must have passed

Since me you did sever

And forgot me so fast

I don’t sit and wonder

Not much anymore

There’s no need to ponder

For I know what’s in store

It started as pain

But slowly transformed

Into happiness again

Now that you, you are gone
