can you stop
stop being
herewhen you
aren't here
at all?you weren't there
when i was walking
across that stageyou weren't there
through the endless
fights i've hadthe endless tears
tears
that i've shedyou weren't here
when i just
needed you
to hug meweren't here
to just love mestop
being
herebecause
you have already
decided to leavebecause
you've already decided
to forget about mebecause you aren't
here at all
you haven't been here
for a while nowand you don't deserve
to have a place in my heartbecause
you aren't
deadbut you're dead to me.
