Alone

Why are you speaking at all?
Why are you torturing me?
No, I don’t want this at all
I see the burn in your cheeks
As you change what was truth
You offer pieces of nothing
As irrefutable proof
And if the sky does fall down
Like you tell me it should
I doubt I’ll even notice
I doubt I even could
I’m too busy just laughing
At the voice in my head
That keeps on telling me secrets
About what you once said
You’ve never looked more beautiful
I’ve never felt so alone
And as this time passes by
I find I’m listening more
To this language you’re using
But your grammar is poor
I’d swear I heard you say
That you loved me way back when
Perhaps a previous life-time
And this absolves you of sin
And if I had the strength to argue
Then perhaps I’d beg to differ
But instead I’ll nod my head
As my muscles get much stiffer
My thoughts are turning away
From this ranting that you rave
I find I think of just one phrase
A single thought my mind will save
You’ve never looked more beautiful
I’ve never felt so alone
And if you think you know why I’m here all alone
You are so wrong
You haven’t got a clue what I’m trying to do
