You Only Come

I don't look for you to come
because time with you made me old
finally seeing who you are
when I once believed you were gold.

I don't lavish you with your own greatness
you always needed to know how great you were
your ego was hungry and needed fed
and that's what I did, I made you purr.

You only come when you forget I'm numb
to any of the everything I used to live
a world of you, vaguely remembered
everything you took I had to give.

You only come when you forget I'm tired
too tired to rip and run and tear around
to please your head and touch your heart
to push you up when you slide down
to shed light to break your darkness
to warm when your sky is cloudy and cold
I don't look for you to come
because time with you made me old...

you only come when you remember
your soul, at once, for me, you sold.
