I can’t remember,
The last time you cared about anything,
The last time you allowed yourself to be seen.
You turn to face the day, a hollow being.
Every time you laugh, you need to cry.
Every time you smile, you tell a lie.
For every tear in your eyes,
Part of you withers and dies.
You pretend to be something you’re not.
You’re lies have crumbled and now you’re caught.
You’re dead and broken because of something lost
You’ve lost the eyes that you once sought.
You gave up once you had fallen.
The friend I once had is now gone.
Her eyes have closed forever upon,
The face you wear to confront the day.
Your voice is just a whisper,
You call upon your blank thoughts as you try,
To fit them in where you missed her,
You missed the chance to stop living a lie.
