Who Are We These Days?

Who Are You?

Who Are We These Days?

It's been for however long since you been gone away?

And I've just been over here shedding tears.

Pretty smile pretty face not a thing I would change.

Cast me away, now finally alone.

At least I am.

My heart beyond torn, my soul butchered. My thoughts racing.

Clouds are grey,

These are my shadows of cover.

They move me like the wind whisking me away to the next so-called chapter of my life.

I lay awake for days on end.

Wrestling with my own life. I fight many things off but with you I cant.

I'm losing much of everything I loved and starry-eyed over. Every day feels like a dizzy hangover.

Your a drug and addiction I refuse to quit.

Mainly because you are my it.

Now I don't care that I was thrown into the lion's den or you run off with some new lover, or even ignore me and throw me away like crumpled garbage that never finds the can.

Whats kills me slowly is how you have no love at all for me it seems.

And the late-night talks of the dreams we planned and of forever after- that smile of happiness in your eyes blisters my heart.

It shocks me like 300 volts of electricity I feel the fire.

It's been forever long since I knew who I was.....?

Who are you these days?
