Just One Of Those People

I know that crying is pointless

Because I’ve tried

And it didn’t help

And I know I should just

Be grateful

For what time I have

But it’s not enough

And I don’t want to say goodbye.

 

My perspective’s all out of whack

I can’t remember how I used

To see things

Can’t remember how I used to think

What I used to think

 

All I see is that one word:

 

...but I can’t say it

Hush. Hush. They can’t know yet.

Hush. Hush. Keep it to yourself.

 

My tears collect in my hands

Which cover my face

And I’m shaking

As I sit here

Alone with my thoughts

                And fears

 

I know you hate me

But it’s out of my control

Believe me

I wouldn’t be doing this

If I had a choice

 

And I’ll write to you

Phone you

Think of you

 

You won’t even miss me

Not for long

I’ll just be another person

Who didn’t make it

To your future life

One of those faint memories

You never completely forget

 

One of those people who never stayed for long

Not anywhere
