the signs were there
i should’ve taken heed
the cloudy skies, the rainy days
yet i could not see clearly through the winter haze
so, was i lost in the storm without a second to breathe

she swept through not fast
but slow, to tease the pain
destroying, employing destructive force
she so skillfully mastered through years of her course
i could not for the life of me, stand the rain

when she did leave
my world she left frayed
my dreams in shambles, my heart but debris
i just want my life the way it used to be
before she came in and swept it away.

Leave me so that I can begin that initial step
toward admitting that I have a problem
and working out my addiction to loving you.

Leave me so that I can keep searching for that special
person who will love me for who I am
and not who they want me to be.

Leave me so that you can keep searching for that special
person who will love you more than I ever could
and maybe one day you’ll realize that person is not you.

she left me, and if she’d left this world
my life would be the same
for with her, she took the memories
yet traces still remain

searching my mind, i try to find
the memories that we once shared
for those traces dwell, and though i search well
my mind says they’re not there

she took with her the good and bad,
the friendship, times that made her sad,
and everything she hid so that
no one could tell she had.

so now when i see her,
i’m reminded of someone i once knew
her beauty alike, her voice, the same
yet i cannot recall who.
