Detach
You are weak, and I am a wonder
I am immovable, and you were a blunder
Never again will your ears hear the sound
Of my voice or the words of me coming around
Your eyes will not rest or gaze upon me
Our lips will not touch, this moment I'm free
It was you who choose this, it was not I
I've pined and I've prayed and I've hoped I would die
But no more - it ends now, you cease to exist
And shall be wiped clean from my mind, I'll persist
And I'll fight and I'll shut you out
And the memories, and wine, and us rolling about
Are erased, extinguished, and sapped of their joy
And the base hopes of a simple, soft boy
Who wanted and needed and waited and pleaded
And greeted you every moment and day
Will lay by the side of the road and decay
Like an animal who froze and was crushed
Cracked and broken, those words in my stomach
Never again to be spoken
I'll never look back at this path that you choose
I'll be gone, gone, gone, away and away
Not waiting and hoping to again be your prey
I'll be gone, but I'll be there the same
Like a cancerous tumor that grows in your brain
And grows to a point of pressure and pain
When you realize the wonder you tossed aside
And all of your fancy new dreams subside
When the cheap pleasure you choose to replace
Will stare you down in your old woman face
You'll slip back to that wonder I was
And you'll cry and feel that anguish
Each day 'till you die
