Remember When...Oh, Nevermind...

In the dark, deafened by silence
A fire burns in the distance
To feel the scorching again just once
Because I'm not warm enough from the reminisce

Haunted from what use to be
I'm at the edge I do decree
I've lost all sight on what was me
All because of you, can't you see?

Oh, your words were my sweet poison
Striking me with such passion
You smothered me with such affection
Even now it's hard to mention

Etched in my head is how your eyes looked my way
I found them so beautiful, left me with nothing to say
The way you held me made my day
But now all that is gone, and they faded to gray

A broken heart isn't the only thing you left behind
Breaking promises should be a crime
I know that fault is also mine
But I just crave to be once more thine

But no, I'm stuck with this sweet poison
Delivered by lips in a swift but sweet motion
And, Oh, I know this is indeed a sin
But you've changed the way I think about men

Oh, I remember how I saw red
How accidently seeing you, I did dread
How I'd stain black the pillows on my bed
All because you left with nothing said

'Sweetie, why?' is what I boohoo'd
Wondering why it felt so crude
Although you were a really sweet dude
Me being who I am, couldn't help my mood

I danced over the edge and it felt so right
I just wanted to stalk you and give you such a fright
And I thought I just might
But I couldn't stand your sight

No, I thought better of it
Knowing my previous plan was nothing but shit
And so I took a break for a bit
Organizing my thoughts and trying to make it fit

And though I love to bask in this sweet poison
There is one thing I forgot to mention
The pain you caused me created a new creation
And I don't know how to show my appreciation

You see, you've shunned me, and we no longer speak
You know, that thing that made me weak
And made me hit my peak
But don't worry because revenge I no longer seek

Just go on and keep running, my friend
My heart has started to mend
This time it'll be hard to even bend
But who knows when this feeling would end

The fire's extiguished yet embers still nest
The memories still make that beat in my chest
And though I feel confident to say my feelings are at rest
It is still risky to put it to the test

So, I ask is it better this way?
To stay out of each other's lives and keep feelings at bay?
Forget everything we use to say?
Just go on thinking this is all okay?

I guess it is possible for this to go swell
I can get up from where I fell
But to determine whether I or you will get well...
...only time can tell.
