Thing of Your Past

And it hurt so bad

When you pretended to be there

Your body stood next to me

But your mind wandered away

On the wings of a dragonfly

Down old paths I thought were forgotten

Through streams flooded with liquor

Into the deep blue sadness of a cloudless sky

And I missed you so bad

When I thought of the new paths we paved

The oceans we cleaned of poison

Days when the sun shined despite gray clouds

But I knew you had jumped

Though I tried to reel you back in

You tugged and tugged at the line until it snapped

Making me just another thing of the past
