I didn't know I would walk this familiar lonely road this soon
Shifted the furniture around that you may stay longer
Dolled up the corridor with the scents you loved
On occasion, dressed in the veils that pleased you most
Even diminished past friendships to create our future
I spit at my changes, intentionally forgetting that they were for the better
With my bare teeth and manicured nails I am tearing down the very haven I built
I pull down the sanctuary I created where we slumbered in sweet embrace
With flames as fierce as what I now feel, I put to ashes every memory of you
Every smile, every number, every tune, every pleasure, every thought, every scent
You were just an illusion, a likeness of my infantry chimera
Your love did not exist, for how can love so quickly fade
And NO!! my cheeks will not nurse any tears that I may shed
The shallow sinking feeling in my heart, I refuse that it be pain
I refuse that it be caused by you, I refuse that it have a hold on any facet of my being
For you did not exist, you were never there, no you couldn't have been
I am not weeping, I am not sad, I am not holding on to any memories of you
They are not of you these words I speak, they speak not of you
For you did not exist, no you did not, you couldn't have!
