and wonder if they were ever real
your smile sincere, your laugh unforced
those fleeting moments where you were not afraid to look me in the eye
those promises...our promises...
I stepped back and teetered on the edge
I closed my eyes and held my breath hoping to sense your warm embrace
but it never came, all I felt was the icy chill of the air as I fell through it
and as i opened my eyes, all I could see was the figure of yourself growing smaller and smaller
until it disappeared over the towering cliff of the past
In the blackness, I thought it was gone, I wished for it to be so...
i blanked out every memory and every wish
I rubbed it out in pure spite
Every ounce of sadness I would have felt in doing so was numbed out with a breath of smoke
Every tiny feeling of guilt lagged far behind as I ran away as fast as my weary legs could take me
Everying was stripped away till only a pale shadow of myself was left
He promised me I would live life the way I wanted, without regret
His promises were the one I trusted, cause though he failed constantly, I knew he was trying
and that was all that mattered, all that I could care for right now...
You may abandon me, step on my pride and spit on my sincerity
I will live as I am
