The Heart Will Die As Well

yesterday was a disaster, 
scribbled in dangerously dark ink,
and permanent enough to get your point across...

I will rub my name off of this page,
just so you understand that this really is the end.
though I wouldn't expect you to notice, or to understand...
you're too busy trying to fit in.

I know-
that I never meant anything to you...
And that you pawned me off for this
is reason enough for me to walk away.
you shouldn't speak of your friends like that
when they can hear everything you say.

And for your dishonesty-
I'll stop biting my tongue...
I think you are stupid for staying on this path
worn smooth already by those who have come before.
And if this is the direction you're taking
I don't want to be your excuse anymore...

Though maybe this is my fault after all.
Though I can't explain this to you
no matter how hard I try.
And the only thing I want right now
is to hear you say goodbye.
