A poem about drifting love and confused feelings
You told me your life would be the same with or without me
Maybe you spewed those words because you're always afraid to let people in who care
Or maybe I truly am irrelevant to you, maybe you wish we'd never met
I'd give everything for it to be the first, but my gut says otherwise

I think so highly of you
But lately I wonder if I am just an object to you
An easy source of sex, cigarettes and an ear to listen
The fucked up part is that I stay
I am always always there for you
Even after you leave me once you've taken what you need from me

You know, I used to be the new, shiny toy
You used to tell me you'd give me the world
All I ever wanted was for that to be true
I didn't want anything from you except commitment
But even that wasn't something you were able to give me

You told me your life would be the same with or without me
So how come I still held your hand as you cried
Why should I dry your pained eyes
When you're the reason mine water at night
Goodbye and goodnight.
