if i were to close my eyes you sounded exactly like him,
just for a second, degrading and mean
and i know it was unintentional
but did it make my heart wince
"your personality and words,
into a close one they'd trickle and seep"
is this what years of "love"
and "devotion" would come down to?
sometimes if i were to close my eyes
as if through you his words hurt others still
something i'd never thought would cross my mind
because you are my home, your embrace heals all woes
but he was also my home, though in his pride
though in his head i would never suffice
i know it was unintentional
and to boil you down to one sentence said on one evening
is unfair at best, maybe degrading and mean
but indeed in you his shadow lurks within
and in you he lives on still
