You Never Said Good bye

You never said good bye

You just stopped taking my calls

I'm left to wonder why

Feeling more like dust undisturbed

 

Than the book under it

I don't know which is worse

The unanswered hope of forgotten ruins

Or the fine particles of exhausted prayers

 

But right now I'm somewhere

In between

A pyramid on it's way back

To sand dunes

A box of yellowed letters,

Moisture damaged

Molds creeping upward

In the basement

 

You never said good bye

Just stopped saying anything

 

I've traced back my steps

Over and over again

To where we began

Straight on to where years end

Truth is,

It's a slow, slow fade

I can't point to the moment,

Exactly

The moment you strayed

Can't understand why

What did I..?

Did I..?

Did you..?

What is it

That made dust of me and a ghost of you?

 

You never said good bye

You just stopped taking my calls

I'm left to wonder why

Feeling more like dust undisturbed

 

Than the book under it

I don't know which is worse

The unanswered hope of forgotten ruins

Or the fine particles of exhausted prayers

 

But right now I'm somewhere

In between

A pyramid on it's way back

To sand dunes

A box of yellowed letters,

Moisture damaged

Molds creeping upward

In the basement

 

You never said good bye

Just stopped saying anything

 

My memories are grains

In an hour glass

Breathe

And I'll pluck you

From the past

By where the fog

Of your breathe

Collects

And you trace 

A reason

In it

With a gentle

Finger

I'll at least understand

 

I've paced upon my steps

Over and over again

Feet pounding from my chest

Never resting loss

Lost a friend

A little lost in what I became

I can't point to the moment, 

Exactly

The moment you strayed

Can't understand why

What did I..?

Did I..?

Did you..?

What is it

That made dust of me and a ghost of you?

 

You never said good bye

You just stopped taking my calls

I'm left to wonder why

Feeling more like dust undisturbed

 

Than the book under it

I don't know which is worse

The unanswered hope of forgotten ruins

Or the fine particles of exhausted prayers

 

But right now I'm somewhere

In between

A pyramid on it's way back

To sand dunes

A box of yellowed letters,

Moisture damaged

Molds creeping upward

In the basement

 

You never said good bye

You never said good bye

You never said good bye

I only miss you more..
