Phantom Friend

How does it feel being a supreme human being Thank you for being phenomenal While you steal my flames and watch me stall True friends are like gold dust Sprinkling shimmering light through the darkness While I sit alone soaked in acid rain You act like this is a game Impractical joker I’d like to …

Ending

Too much time has passed I held a place in my heart for you Picked away at the scab to keep it open Time and tears prove strong It’s beginning to scar over The ache transforming to anger Too much time has passed The connection that held us together is stretched thin Beginning to fray …
