Too Late for Hello

Just how I felt after a bad breakup...how I feel now!

Often I think of us,
How we loved so deep.
Sadly I review life,
And remember you're a memory.

For now you love me not,
But enjoy to make me itch.
You tear me at the seams each day,
And laugh at the sight of it.

You know now I'm not me,
But this zombie that doesn't breathe.
With your black soul and smile,
You cast this evil spell in me.

But now its time to find my way,
To venture back into the light.
For I am not your puppet,
As you are my parasite.

I've walked these halls each day for years,
So familiar to my routine.
Yet now to move around your path,
I create my own it seems.

You laugh at me with her each day,
Yet you can't see what is now clear.
I am the one who has no pain,
While you're her faceless puppetier.

My friends and I now know your game,
And we all refuse to play.
Who seems to be the happier now,
When all you see is my smiling face?

So do not try to interfere,
For I am wiser without your mask.
I hope your lies have caught up with you,
Because I know you will never last,

Does it hurt you that I've disappeared,
And am an unfamiliar face?
For me, my dear, it was quite easy,
Though you're one memory I can't replace.

So share the halls for now I know,
You don't have to keep me chained.
Its too late to say hello,
When we are strangers face to face.
