Days lives out in darkness

memories running down the drain

I sent my last text to you

before closing myself off

our moments will never be lived again

it was all for nothing

love only i could see

left in a tangible web of false hope

I found my closure in solitude

where darkness provided me

a new sense of comfort

shut the blinds, keep out the light

drained by the fleeting essence of hope

paranoia rising, heightened insecurities

drowning in the tides of despair

I revelled in the warmth of your closure

only I wasn’t what you’re looking for

a beauty only I could see

but kept under lock and key

it wasn’t ever real

even though it was for me

and although you’re gone

I’m left clinging to memories

knowing I’ll never see you again

it’s time to say goodbye

while I dissipate in the wind

it’s all over now

it’s over for us
