Damn you look so much better, hard to not stare,
we shared such great memories, hard to not care,
mind mimics a memory projector, displaying you everywhere,
on my walls, in the streets, over here and over there,
hard to think that just 6 months prior,
i was warm hearted, fresh out of the dryer,
must be why you ran from me like i was fire,
you saw a monster and became a liar,
if only i said no and retired like Barry,
in my prime, my future wouldn't scare me,
then i'd know i gave into choices,
gave up pitching to you so you don't jim joyce us,
maybe you shined like a diamond in my eye,
but that doesn't mean i deserve to cry,
staying away from liquor, so i fall asleep dry eyed,
we'll see how long it lasts till i'm fully fried.
