The One You Left Behind

[Erasmas]

Th One You Left Behind:

 

The world has enough time.

I pass it on my own.

The broken words that seem to rhyme

Guide me to my home.

The lesson's written clearly,

So you'd think that I would learn,

But I still hold your memory dearly,

Even though that bridge has burned.

 

The ocean and the waves don't change their motion when I'm blue,

And birds don't stop to ask if I'm okay.

The world is unaware that all I do is think of you,

And it kills me that your voice won't go away.

I tried falling out of love with you, but I can't escape my mind.

I'll always be one you left behind.

 

I'm something of a fool,

Pretending you're still here,

And playing out the endless duel:

My desire and my fear.

The mirror tells the story

Of a boy's imagined past

He found happiness in a hurry --

And lost it just as fast.

 

The ocean and the waves don't change their motion when I'm blue,

And birds don't stop to ask if I'm okay.

The world is unaware that all I do is think of you,

And it kills me that this life won't go away.

I tried falling out of love with you, but I can't escape my mind.

I'll always be one you left behind.

High praise indeed; thank you. I absolutely hate the title, but was too tired to stay awake any longer and think of a better one. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Also, sorry I haven't been around much, Ash. I have just had a lot going on. XD I will try to get back into things in the next week or so.
