Night, Strongly Diluted Though it is in Comparison

I asked you long ago if you’d turn your head

A turn I have not seen

I wondered if you’d be here this time around

But here you have not been

And now the tie is so close to severed

A new protector I’ve found

Your presence is only need for trivial reasons

Because, now, I’m forward bound

My cries were fucking obvious

and yet you failed to see

just what your lack of discretion

had really done to me

So here I stand, fighting this complex

A selfish blow you’ve dealt

I’m not quite ready to forget you

But to forget the pain i’ve felt

It seems that it’s your turn now

to realize what’s been done

But will you ever really know

that we are so alone?

 ————–

Why would you leave me

When I need you the most?

All I have of you

Is some sort of ghost.
