Residue

By the look on your face
I knew I’d been replaced
But what could I do
When your words were through
Too far and too few


Had our better days
Been so displaced
You didn’t even try to disguise
No chance for reprise


Could I have disarmed you with surprise
Could I have made you recognize
The battle wasn’t won
You war had just begun


A bitter attack
Ran me right off my track
Couldn’t believe it was true
This war was started by you


A prisoner of war
Limbs and heart were torn
But your indecision raged on
Left me on the floor
You didn’t, but I wanted more


A touch like morphine
You with held your hand
You could’ve made me ok
But that was never your way


Your phone breaking the silence
Disrupting your absence
Now you want to mend our bridge
But these pieces can’t be fixed


I’m pushing away
All the decay
Residue
Of me and you


It’s your turn to burn
Now you’re wounded and torn
The war has phased out
Now you’re the one without
