Gone
Sitting alone, crossed legged on my bed
Staring at the old photographs of you and me.
They bring tears to my eyes
And pain to my heart:
The people in those photographs
Do not exist any more.
You've changed,
And I've changed.
Those people have gone.
You used to make me feel so happy
But then I realised
That if you really cared about me
Then you wouldn't have treated me the way you did
And act as if I was nothing to you.
Our relationship has gone.
My friends try to tell me
That I'm better off without you,
That I let myself suffer for too long
Under your restricting hold.
I know they're right,
And that I shouldn't have given in to you
Because I didn't want to fight.
The coward within me has gone.
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
Believing that everything was my fault,
When in reality I had done nothing wrong.
It was all you,
And I gave you chance
After chance
After chance
To prove yourself
When you didn't deserve it.
My faith in you has gone.
Right now, I'm being selfish
For once, and I don't care.
I deserve better than your cruelty,
I should have realised that long ago.
You're so used to replacing me for a while
Then running back when it doesn't work out
And they have gone,
Just to have me,
Loyal and forgiving,
Let you straight in.
But not this time,
I'm fed up of it all.
My patience has gone.
My life will be better
Now that you are gone.
And I hope you realise
what we had was great.
And I hope you miss it.
You used to always complain
About people leaving you:
How does it feel now that I'm gone too?
