Phantom of Her Former Self
She begs. She Sobs. She Pleads.
She’s groveling down on her knees
He sits there, and watches here bleed
Their love, so mangled and torn
Her friends tried to warn
But now she cries as her sobs escape and she mourns
He apologizes in a monotone but it does no good
He’s already gone as we all knew he would
She tries to overlook the pain that withstood
Her tears cut like knives
When she’s sure he’s taken the love she thrives
It’s the end of her world but the beginning of her life
He should be deemed a monster, killing her like he did
Treating her like a naive little kid
But the hurt he inflicted can not be hid
What did she do to deserve this wound?
The answers that are lost would do no good found
He laughs an antagonistic cackle as he pushes her to the ground
Did she really believe this would have a happy finish?
Now she sits and looks out the window in anguish
Because he failed her heart’s dearest wish
She logs off when she’s tired of waiting for the instant message that won’t come
She cries herself to sleep when she’s sick of hoping on the love that won’t become
She dries her tears when she realizes she’s tired of being a phantom
