You Should Know

i'm tired of us
or so you said
and you left me with empty thoughts
as i lay upon an empty bed

too afraid to find out i'm alone
too sure that things would change
but they never do
no, things never change....

silence beckons and plants doubt
it spreads like ivy green
crawling across my mouth
and muting out my scream

can't you hear me?
don't you even remember my name
you say it's over, and know it's not
you're not the person that i thought
i knew..
maybe someday you'll know.

so many chances and choices-
we all make mistakes
some more than others
you're quick to remind

but i'm here, where are you
didn't you see me waiting
maybe you were too busy hating me
and everything i stand for

your voice leaks into my head
infecting my core with memories
and i clear my throat for words
that you'll only let slip by..

can't you hear me?
don't you even remember my name
you say it's over, and know it's not
you're not the person i thought
i knew..
maybe someday you'll know..


that i need you.....
