The Girl You Knew
An Ode to the Heartbreaker
How could I ever turn to tell you it's killing me?
Could never explain little monsters crawling out of the cracks in my chest
All of them born so carefully in the hurt you did not see
Walking on thin straps to the other side, to what should have been the best
Desires overpowered a gleaming friendship, weighing them down to doom
From the first word of the first love letter you ever wrote
Now that love and that pain can only live inside of you
Because Happiness was that sleeping angel of mine that never woke
We watched ourselves fold over into the endless black oceans
Knowing very well the creatures lurking in those waters of ours
The heat from white fires living in our blood-stained potions
Now the feathered hopes I once carried seem fair into far
Why did you do this to me? It dances around all these days
If you loved her, why did you make yourself comfortable in my bed?
If you want to wed your childhood, why did you have me stay?
Ignorant girl failing to confirm in herself that she was the secret instead
Maybe you couldn't see as I could; all the poison we made
Because you were always drowning in your own
If it was my choice, I would watch all our memories sweetly fade
And forget that I ever let you out of the friendzone
Part of my innocence was killed in the sake of that love for you
Just so you could go on like nothing happened and hide the truth
23 years later, and I still sit so neatly in solitude
Now you can watch me as I murder the girl you once knew
Love Always,
Chayle
