paradise

-

our friendship
was paradise
because your loyalty
was mine

i feel you fading away
slipping through my fingertips
expanding your wings
and flying

you're just not the one for me
i suppose

despite how the two of us blossomed together
like a rose

but i see that you don't care for me
or maybe you don't understand
for my crime, it's me you'll apprehend

the rhythm is lost
once again
in that paradise we felt
hand in hand

you'll disappear forever
at my expense

but you'll always be in my mind
like a sixth sense

i don't see the dead
but that's what i am to you

someone you don't care for
someone you've used all the way through

there isn't one day that goes by
where you're not on my mind

and i hope that you feel the same

not to be malicious
not to manipulate
but don't you ever forget my name

because you hurt me
and you broke me down
and for you to saunter all around

is unfair to me
because i am forced to see
you, every day

so should you ever forget my name
shame on you, for losing your own game.
