Changed

Every tear on my cheek,

That I shed when you left.

Retraces your steps back,

Through the path you can't forget.

You told me my flaws,

You pointed them out.

Every day, every night,

Like a cycle going around.

You made me feel,

That I could never be enough.

You loved me from far,

But ran away at my touch.

I tried, I pleaded,

I know I shouldn't have.

But this heart was innocent,

And now I lament its death.

A cage in a cage,

A wall upon a wall.

The best way to keep you out,

Is to close myself off.

My heart is a stone structure,

My tears are just coal.

They should blacken my face up,

But they declare war on the world.

Ashes and fire,

And everything bad.

The blossom of a black flower,

And it's untimely end.

It all points towards,

A new season at bay.

The end of a chapter,

The start of a play.

No longer the girl,

you knew, you met.

Maybe it's better that I stop,

Before telling the end.

The path you retrace,

Still leads to me.

Just with a changed heart,

And a changed scenery.
