Black And White

Fade Away

I once loved
And you once loved with me
I still love
With less than I used to
Even if it's still there
Your heart will never care
Not even if I wanted you to

You left a pain within me
A pain that's hard to control
It eats me whole
And devours my sleep
Takes me to a pit of nothingness
Brings me to defeat

You stole my breath
And replaced it with painful memories
An ache that curls me to a brokenness
You seem to feel nothing
And I seem to not care
But the pain that you left me
The darkness you created

It hides in my eyes
It hides in my bones
My soul
My heart
Damn I wish you loved me still
Even just a little

And if not that
I wish I could care less
Or just for the pain to fade away
Fade like smoke after a perfect fire
