detached
I could run from you
But you’d never reach for me
Because I’m forever detached
Disconnected from everyone
And everything
You’ve been given it all
Still I’m left with nothing
I don’t know what I want anymore
Just something other than this hell
That burns my very grasp
I wish I could breathe
Through someone else’s mask
All I have now is you
Though I know
You don’t have me
I plant the seeds
But I’ll never see the flower
The real me, I haven’t let him out quite yet
He’s hidden from reality
This reality I regret
If only I didn’t live in this silence
If only love didn’t take on a form of violence
It’s ripping me apart
And the pieces go ignored
They throw themselves away
Because it wasn’t meant to be
Every day, another piece of me dies
One last time, laid down on the line
Just walk on by
I wish we could have known each other for years
But I bet you didn’t want to know me for even a second
Why should anyone want to?
You could never deal with something
That’s slowly slipping away before you
But if you only knew
If anyone ever cared
I guess I’m not human enough
For anyone, anything
I’ll never see the answer
But I know who’s done this to me
Let me keep safe these dreams
That will never be seen
