He paused and sighed
Said “I don’t remember
What it’s like to say I love you.”
The phone fell to the floor
And I landed beside it
Sobbing, struggling for breath

You can’t remember how
You held me all those days?
The nights we stayed up past five
On a school night nonetheless?
And every, day, I spent, with you.
How can you forget after the past year?!

Laying here silently in a puddle of tears
Aching, dying inside
Angry, saddened, at a loss for words
Yet you continue on, cutting the words deeper
Each words hurts more than the previous
Forming mental scars in my mind

I can’t believe that you don’t remember
After I admitted I’ve loved you
And after you said it every day?
Since I first laid eyes on you
You can’t remember the bond we had?
I can’t believe you. I can’t believe you.

Unaware of how much you’re killing me
You go on to say how you forget all of this
The soulless tone of your voice, it stings
Saying this now, I ask, did you ever love me?
Or was it a lie at the time as well?
Every. Single. Day… was it all a lie?

This Man works hard
Everyday in his life
Comes home to nothin
But a displeased wife

Turns about face
Walks out the door
Walks with a
Bottle of whisky by the shore

The waves are crashing in
A few feet away,
The tide pulls back
And replays

His whole life
Has gone downhill
Doctors results are in
Gotta write a will

Sign everything away
To a total stranger
Cause no one in his life
Can take the danger

For the first time
In a few long years
He, drops his head
And sheds his tears

All the peace
Has gone away
Along with every ounce of trust
Lost day by day

He can't take
This life no more
Practically sold his soul
To his store

In the distance
The church bells ring,
Why won't god
Give this man his wings?

— The End —
