Keith MacKay

Memories of you,
Kill me inside.
What we had,
Is no longer alive.

Seeing you happy,
Puts me in anger.
Looking at you,
Puts my eyes in danger.

When I walk past you,
Time slows down.
It almost seems impossible,
That I dated that clown.

But out of all the memories,
I remember of us.
I do recall,
You being as stiff as a bus.

You did not make a move,
Nore did you try.
But now I know,
It was all a lie.

You said you loved me,
You held my hand.
That i regret believing,
Because you weren't yet a man.

You were merely a boy,
Trapped in a box.
With fake beliefs,
That I was all wrong.

You betrayed my heart,
And got rid of the stitching.
You wondered why,
I was b****ing.

In the end,
Everything cleared up,
The darkness went away,
When the light was freed from under the cup.

I set down my rules,
I made them clear.
Your hands can no longer touch me,
Your voice I don't want to hear.

Your eyes can't watch me,
You will never come near.
You followed these rules.
Now keep it there.
