All I am and all I can be to you is what you allow
You don’t allow me to love you any more
The shirt that was once all you ever needed.
Your favorite thing to pull out of your closet
And slip on in the brisk fall morning.
Do you remember when you bought it?
And now it is tucked away in the drawer
Faded star.
Washed out.
Lost.
.Unnoticed
That’s all I am to you
An old favorite
Stored away just so you can recall a past time and every thing you once wanted
Because you’re not the same person any more
Can’t you see that?
You leave me like the shirt
Stretched and worn out
Tired of all these games,
Tired of guessing,
Tired of questioning
What you are and what you have become leave me baffled
I can’t get to you
I can’t make you understand.
I can’t make you change to make you see everything that has changed
You always call me when you’re high
And confess how you feel
And swear up and down we’ll be together again, One day.
And I know you want to care I can see deep down to the true you.
Just close your eyes and pretend
I never wanted to stop pretending <<with you. >>
