Hearts forsaken, always for the taking
I never meant to hurt you but it happened in a haste
Suppose you would have stayed and seen me grow into a lady
The type you wanted from the beginning, but I was always mistaken
Whatever, it doesn’t matter because it’s all gone now
But the back of my mind where your memory lies is my home now
Say you can’t stand the mere image of me
That’s only because your eyes hold sight for what I used to be
Can’t say that’ll ever change , all I know is that I’m strong
And I will cherish this day no matter where I went wrong.
Learned to mask the care I have for you
Only because I know that closeness is bad for anyone new
Who might walk into your life
I really hope they help you through any strife
But even if there’s no one there, I still hope you see it through
At the stroke of midnight; October 26th, the day that’s exclusively for you.
Emotional detachment has got me running in another direction
Never to fear or be hurt by the words used to depict your current predilection
Of anyone but me,
Of course I see the animosity and aggression
But never does it bother me
It saddening to know that you will never get to exhibit the better of another human
You speak so elegantly of blindness but you’re blinding yourself
Blocking out everything that has ever hurt you is like blocking out the building stones
the ones that exchanged with you a cleansed version of cognition for the old; your own
The fire burns away and blood leaks through every crevice
When it used to be all daydreams and floating along through heaven
But I forget what it feels like to love anyone but myself
Learning to be mine and only mine increases happiness and spiritual wealth
You may never accept the declaration “I will never break another heart”
But it’s the truth, and the truth is what you taught me from the start.
