hey, remember me?
it's been a while.
i just couldn't forget that gorgeous smile
i know this might sound a bit wild,
but you remind me of when i was a child
you remind me of the endless summer days
and the way the clouds played with the sunrays
maybe you remind me of myself? maybe, you remind me of myself.
i find it burdensome how we both grew up
and forgot about our pure, childish love (if there was, indeed, love at all);
about the time we used to call each other "mine";
the days i used to be the only thing you wanted to see;
a princess lying on the ground, waiting only to be found
and you were the one who said, 'it's done'
how do you forget such a thing?
how do you keep silent when you want to scream?
i feel empty on the inside now, but i will speak, if you allow:
you took a part of me i'll never get back
threw me in an abyss that was cold and pitch-black
wandered around the eerie space, craving for a warming embrace
i grew up wistful with a hole, because of the missing piece you stole
it could've been a memory or a wish - the thing you took
but you had it out of me demolished
and a tree without its roots
might die like thee without fruits
to sugar up the soul
to cover up... the hole
and suddenly i find myself covered in leaves
with a soul so broken that just grieves
and laments for the one thing you took
'cause i feel naked - like an uncovered book
left out on the shelve,
trying to comfort itself
you didn't take a memory or just a wish, i know
you took something that was part of me long time ago
and this i call... my childhood
i don't know if it's for good
but in my childhood there were you
sitting by every memory and every wish
there were you,
the person who made out of me what i am now
and thus, for this i don't know whether i should thank you
and forgive you, if you allow,
or break the chains
and stop asking when and how
you disappeared
and took the one thing i called mine,
the one thing i myself designed -
the love i had for you
you took it and it disappeared with you
and writing all this kinda makes me sad
it doesn't change a thing, thus not making me feel glad
it can't bring people back
it can't suddenly remove the lack
how about the people that i've hurt?
the ones at who i threw tons of dirt,
because i didn't want to hear the truth they used to say
about how my face gradually turned grey,
how fighting for you wasn't worth it
facts and words i was too afraid to admit
not because i felt like you were the one
but because you had something that you'd won,
you had something that i didn't want to be gone
because losing you meant losing something else
and no matter how much a person tells me:
'you will see, in time you will be free'
i knew you had it all in the palms of your hands
and i couldn't do a thing but follow your commands
though i thought it was unreal,
though there was nothing left to feel,
you had my childhood with my memories and dreams
and no matter how silly and strange it seems,
you had me at my knees as if thrown down by some kind of disease
yet, somehow you had something i don't even want back -
my heart and my love with it
i'm sick of the pain and humiliation -
quit it
if happiness means getting rid of things, take it. take it all -
my memories, my dreams, my childhood -
drown them all
the years have made me numb
but i'm not stupid, i'm not dumb
once a glass is broken you can't have it back on
and look at it as if nothing's wrong
if a piece is missing, there shall never be a complete image
and i'd rather forget your goddamn visage,
'cause i'm sick of walking on broken glass
i'm sure the pain will be gone, time will pass
but no matter how much i convince myself
that hate and pain will be gone by themselves
i know that i'll never be complete,
that love shall never be so sweet
as when i had you by my side,
as when i didn't
have
to
fight
nevertheless, i'm wiping off those tears,
trying to forget those mellow years
never looking back,
too scared of what i might see,
because there you'll be -
waving at me for goodbye,
waiting to see how i will cry
from your ignorance and your cruelty
because there i was
and forever shall be
forever yours,
and never me.
