Slipping Reality

She gave you all you needed

In the times when I needed you.

I understand that you must have loved her

For breaking my heart came easy.

Leaving me, standing in the dark,

Must have been like turning out a light.

I didn't know I had to fight for you

Or I'd have tried with all my might.

I didn't know you were slipping through my fingers

Until you finally decided to fall.

For her, because you never really needed me at all.

You just left... left the door wide open.

I had to close it and pretend my heart wasn't broken.

If I had realized that you were never really there,

I wouldn't have to look and compare the two of us,

I wouldn't have been left standing alone in the dark

I wouldn't have made myself forget how to feel...

After you left.

I did not cry.

I did not scream.

I just knelt against the door

And pressed my hand where yours had just been

And wished for the real thing.

But... I understand,

That for me you were never real.
