I’ll Recoil.
For a moment I had your devoted attention
I held your heart in the palm of my hand
Like a thief, time stole your affection
You slipped through my fingers like grains of sand.
But I will not let your memory consume my mind
There’s no point in dwelling on or regretting our fall
I’ll find every memory or picture I hold on to
Then I will pile them high and destroy them all.
Sometimes I wonder how you are alone,
Does she play with your fingers and tickle your side?
Do all the things I know that you like, I wonder,
But I bite my tongue and hold on to my pride.
In time, you'll forget the light you saw in me
You’ll find better, I’ll appear to you average and dull
And you’ll move on with your life with nothing to show of me
I’m only the girl in the back of your skull.
