Untitled 01/03

I never thought to write you a love song
Thinking that between us was a bond so very strong
That such trivial and mundane things you'd see as something vain
Perhaps then, if I'd written, you'd still know my name


All the pretty words that I can bring to my crimson lips
They all race quickly, passing by, but not one really fits
It does not matter anyway, no matter what prose came
You'd not listen, or care at all, your heart forgot my name


The torment of tears pouring down my face
The memories I hold onto, hid in a special place
My soul can't stand the notion you no longer feel the same
You don't remember, feel, requite, your heart forgot my name


I've tried to go on living, without that which makes me whole
But theres a gaping void, an emptiness, bleeding in my soul
Chances come and chances go, you pass them all right by
Do you even care, that still, your vision swiftly makes me cry


The torment of tears pouring down my face
The memories I hold onto, hid in a special place
My soul can't stand the notion you no longer feel the same
You don't remember, feel, requite, your heart forgot my name


The blood will flow and I will find a moment's peace at last
I entreated you, bared all for you, your final stone was cast
The paper will give a space for my final moment of fame
No one will notice my failure, that, your heart forgot my name


The torment of tears pouring down my face
The memories I hold onto, hid in a special place
My soul can't stand the notion you no longer feel the same
You don't remember, feel, requite, your heart forgot my name


I never thought to write you a love song
Thinking that between us was a bond so very strong
I cry at night, scream outright, in the pillow, hide my shame
So here it is, at long last, but your heart forgot my name
