cold...
when i held you
I was warm, like you
yesterday
but i'm cold.
and i'll never be as warm
as when I trusted you
as when i believed you
would never lie to me

lie to me
lie to me
lie beside me
curled like a cat
and i swore
i'd give my life
to keep you safe
and i swore
i'd never be this person

smile
go on, smile,
you don't know me
because you looked away
and the pictures of me
were your pictures
not mine.

now,
i'm sitting in a cold dark room,
you didn't make it,
you didn't put me here,
you didn't cause this
but you turned the lock
with your silence
and then
you slipped away

i'm still here
have you forgotten?
am i so easy to forget?
it was my birthday
twelve days ago
and i only wanted
to hear you say
anything
at all
to
save
me...
