We're still strangers

And I know it's too late

I felt it with dread

As soon as I loved you, You loved someone else instead

Your eyes no longer resemble the oceans

or the blue of a Robin's egg.

They are plastic sheets, human made

artificial beauty that is no longer sane.

And all I wanted was the bend of your shoulder

your collar bone, and smile.

So I could have a place to lay my cheek, and

have my spirits lifted higher.

But you carelesly gave my home away,

I'm an orphan without you, my parents agree.

They tell me I never had you, but I swear

you'll always have me.

An abandoned afterthought of what we could be.
