Confined

You’ve created an illusion that cannot be explained

I’m not the person you remember

Everyone recalls me differently

Reminiscing of past endeavors

I am treated with such dignity

*

If I’m so fucking cool

Why didn’t you show it

I think you’ve interchanged kind and cruel

Sadly, you’d never know it

*

Why do you have this picturesque vision

Our flaws bring out our humanness

Making me perfect leaves me imprisoned

To be the light to your luminous

*

In all honesty

You were never ready

For this kind of quality

And so you’re left empty

*

Because you have this delusion

That when you left things remained

You’ve created an illusion

That cannot be explained

*

You were the best I’ve had

I hear it all the time

It just makes me look sad

How was I so sublime?

*

If I was so sublime

Why are we no longer a team?

It leaves me to be confined

As the girl of your dreams
