I still think about you
How you weren't always you
Your love disappeared and your hatred
Overcame
It wasn't the real you
You trapped yourself
The anger was and wasn't at me
Though I did not help to soothe your pain
Like I wanted
I had hoped I could
You dug and kept digging
Yourself into the pit
Barbecued the real person you were
True love and despair mixed in as seasoning
It's been years of being silver
When all you wanted was gold
I would have settled for bronze
If you'd still be the person you were when we first met
My love wasn't enough to bring you home
I'm sorry you're gone
Sometimes I wish I could hold you one last time.
