I lost it all in Goodbye

by Unseen Exposure   Feb 22, 2005



It was the way you left me waiting in a dream without an escape
It was the way you walked slowly over my heart, as my breath gaped
It was the way you slowly cut me to pieces, pretending not to see me bleed
It was the way you watched me stumble, and do nothing as I plead

It was the way you stood behind me, and never at my side
It was the way you never held me close to you when I let loose and cried
It was the way you grinned in solitude at the thought of my shattered hope
It was the way you pushed me gently further away from a way to cope

It was the way you left me standing in an open room to fall
It was the way you walked away from me, ignoring my begging call
It was the way you held your hand out, and greedily pulled it away
It was the way you said you'd be there for me, but could never stay

It was the way you hung your head up high while walking over me
It was the way you caged up my feelings and threw away the key
It was the way you looked me in the eye and lied through innocence
It was the way you yelled at me for reasons that never made sense

It was the way you put me down to make it easier for you
It was the way you said you'd love me, and how you made me believe it true
It was the way you stood there watching me flailing my heavy arms
It was the way you basked gracefully knowing you're my reason for self harm

It was the way you made me crawl to get to you over broken glass
It was the way you stared at me making sure I died in this acid bath
It was the way you twisted every bone while I cried out in pain
It was the way you hated everything about me, but never could explain

It was the way you slapped my emotions around and threw them out
It was the way you muted my pleas to you every time I managed to shout
It was the way you never noticed me when I fell down after your abuse
It was the way you threw me away, and died of over-use

It was the way you made it sure I knew you'd never ever try
It was the way you broke my wings so I'd never have the chance to fly
It was the way you stood on my cold body and let me die
It took everything you did to me ... to finally make me say goodbye.
