Notice Me...Just One More Time

Would you recognize my face if it were laying there beside you
Expressionless eyes set tears to abide to
My lips would shake with a shadow so pale
Would you notice them there as you ignore what's to fail
If I asked you why my hands were so cold from your touch
would you break from my arms again and loosen my clutch
I can tell you don't need so deep a shadow as mine
Lonely whispers scream for a chance to shine
My sun falls dead with the blink of a moon
Would you have wanted me then, if you knew so soon
That my walls would shake
That my smiles were fake
And that the life we made was ours to break
You deserve a girl, not a murdered child
A newer hope for your flowers to grow wild
I'm but a chance that shot our dove
To you I'm the sky that was never above
Did I ever have a name
Or just "that girl" you loved?

Would you steal my glance if I dreamt of your face
Lick your lips again and there might be a trace
Do you remember the smiles
That would break through as miles
A new record marked for the time we shared
We loved a moment that never cared
About our hope of a dangling star ahead
About the words we thought each breath had said
You deserve a girl, not a questioned fate
Someone who hasn't swallowed to keep their hate
Or herself for that matter, as she ignores the mirror
Becoming what I thought would only seem nearer
When my broken world
Was blurred and pearled
And the confidence I brought had became so curled
Around the finger of your bleak, tightened motive
You held us both back from desiring votive
And a beginning once gained with what we were
Has become thoughts of you that'll never cure.
