HAUNTED
My mind made up,
My heart is now gone.
I probably should have seen it,
But, was it there all along?
You promised me safety,
You didn't care about my sins.
I guess I can blame myself,
I let you in.
You were my Angel,
You gave me a home!
Now I'm feeling the pain,
I know I'm alone.
You had me keep going,
Even though things got rough.
But fighting just for me, right?
For you, it's too tough.
You taught me so much,
What it meant to be free!
But after all of this time,
Now you just drop me?
You gave me so much,
You gave me a real smile.
But now I've forgotten,
I haven't done that in a while.
You walk around the halls,
Blocking both ears.
I call out your name,
Do you not want to hear?
You promised you'd stay,
Said that things wouldn't change.
Now you say you don't remember,
Do you think this is a game?!
Tears fill my eyes,
As I start to bleed.
I take a big breath,
This is something I need.
Now that you're gone,
And I've cast the die.
I only see you in passing,
And wonder, why would you lie?
Now you see, I'm not there,
You often come to a halt.
Now I'm gone for real,
And you know it's your fault.
So when you start thinking,
About all the things you have done.
Remember, you may not have held it
But you still fired that gun.
My heart is now gone.
