already gone

"a silver lining sometimes isn't enough,
at times life just knocks you straight down,
betrayal covered with a smile,
and I still believed in you.

all the words left unsaid,
the hurt hidden behind a facade,
lies beneath the grin,
kept believing in you

word of mouth never seemed so painful,
open wounds open for discussion,
all done behind the back,
started loosing faith in you.

it's not always poetic,
the beauty in the breakdown,
the calm before the storm,
started thinking less of you.

your eyes lost their glimmer,
everyone saw it but you,
your mouth was pulled up by strings,
started doubting you.

words about others broke your heart,
memories of the past,
most couldn't stand it,
deep down, still believed in you.

too many thoughts swirling,
lack of faith leaving you winded,
limited breath kicks in,
wanted to save you.

visions of a house,
one you don't recognize,
held you in,
wanted to take you home.

shattered pieces,
bits of glass and rubble,
the wrong words swarmed you,
tried calling you.

you were already gone"
