Mr Irrelevant
Mr. Irrelevant
I've lived through a lot of tragedy in my lifetime
And the lines mark my face making it appear old
With a grimace my eyes open each lonely morning
As the grey cloudy sky appears in my window frame
The birds are chirping and there are no cars on the road
It's a silent wasteland of uncaring abandonment
I sit up on my bed and wipe the sleepiness from my eyes
Remembering the dream that I had awoken from
It was her, it was always her, invading my thoughts
For not even in my last sanctuary can I escape her
I try to let the thoughts play themselves out until they die
But they refuse to leave and instead simply rewind
This is a loneliness that I should be familiar with
Since it was merely two years ago when I felt it last
It's not fair that I've been broken by the same person twice
Who left me in a bleak void to pick up the remnants
I walk to the bathroom and gaze at myself in the mirror
Bloodshot eyes greet me and I cringe- Is that really me?
My complexion is pallid and I can tell I was crying in the night
Letting the emotions out in a realm where nobody can see
They say history repeats itself because we never learn from the past
But perhaps now I've finally learned the lesson of a lifetime
