Lies,
All you said,
All your promises,
All your perfectly calculated words,
All you said,

I remember these words,
Useless now,
I remember you,
The person you were,
And view the thing you have become,
I remember my love for you,
And what I knew as your love for me,
I remember,
And I wonder,
What has happened,
Where is your care,
Your once comforting embrace,
Your questions of worry,
Where?

Now I have something else from you,
I have your words,
Your lies,
And your cold embrace,
An embrace of words,
Wrapped around me,
As you try to cover my eyes with them,
And you hope I have not noticed,
But I ask,
How could one not notice as you tied this rope around his throat.

I have noticed,
I can see,
And I will not listen anymore,
I will not even try anymore,

Try to get your help,
Try for your recognition,
Try to fan any flame of care from the past,

I have always cared,
I have helped you,
I have listened,
I have been there when you cried,
It was my shoulder you used,
I was your messenger,
And his,
I did this, and knew this would happen,
But still I did,
I love you,
But it seems you have died,

Or at least all that I admired has.
