Past Feelings

Our names fade with time

What was my silent crime?

Your voice once welled in my chest

Love lost its way and was laid to rest

We danced while we caressed

kissed like we knew it was our last

Didn’t outrun what we believed

Silence replaced, still felt the blast

And I still felt you slip away

Past feelings, made me strong

Played your tune, then hit the bong.

I held your fire, it burned my skin

Fan the flames, never meant to win

Past feelings, made me brave

Shadows we never could save

Didn’t see your truth signs

Traced, but ignored the past

We built a world on broken ground

And watched it fall, and felt aghast.

Your silhouette in every room

In every line, in every tune

I won’t beg you to stay

Angered as I walk away

Past feelings, my heart in a jar

Always knew who we really are

I loved you fierce, I loved you blind

But not all hearts are meant to bind

Past feelings, found a way to heal

Even if none of it was real

Was it real? It wasn’t.
