Complicated

On my mind is how you’re gone

Thinking about how complicated

It is to think about missing

You, how you got up and hurt

Me. How you just suddenly left

Without me. And how I left without him.

 

Looking at him

Through a black shattered mirror, he’s gone.

He just got up and left

Without a goodbye, left things complicated

He left and brutally hurt

Himself by the deep missing

 

Why is he missing

Me? Just looking at him

Makes me puke. He hurt

Me so bad and now he’s gone.

Everything is so complicated

Is that why you left?

 

Smiling secretly because you left

Is he secretly missing

Me? Why is it so complicated?

Looking at him

Through a broken window, he’s finally gone

Me and him, it’s a lot of hurt

 

There is no more hurt

Without a goodbye, he left

Yes, he’s permanently gone

But, the question is, am I missing

Him? Why do I make it all about him?

Can it get anymore complicated?

 

It can get more complicated,

With that, comes more hurt

And it’s all because of him

Things got better when he left

So why am I still missing

Him? Why is he gone?

 

Everything was so complicated until he left

Missing him doesn’t hurt anymore

Him and the tears he caused are gone.
