From everything that you gave me
There was nothing that I lost
Because to lose you must gain first
And to gain - you must first love
And love you, I never could
With my bruised and tarnished heart
A garden poisoned beyond repair
Our worlds, now torn apart
So I'll enter into evidence
The proof of my own agony
And records of everything we were
More than a mere parody
I think we both felt it happen
Like the earth shaking beneath our feet
I think I always knew at the end of the show
I'd be beside an empty seat
On paper it was just three days
Or maybe even less
But the months and months of back and forth
You won't ever confess
I've moved past it now
I don't think about you often
But I do owe you assurance
That our "thing" won't be forgotten
Friends don't look at each other that way
We should've known when it began
The rise would be slow and tedious
The downfall, faster than quicksand

— The End —
