I'm Gone

All those years, 

you didn’t hear me

All those years, 

you seemed so sure

All those days,

you laughed it off

All those nights,

I wanted more

All those lies,

that dug our gravesite

All those tears,

with feeling gone

Now at last

my closet’s empty

Love fell short

—I stayed too long
