27 Years Old

Do you sleep at night when your head lays down? 

Do your thoughts wander and in them your serenity drowns?

Do you shut your eyes and try so hard not to see,

But all your visions are of us, of you and of me? 

Or do you drift to sleep with no regret at all? 

Was I just a name to add to your ever-growing wall?

Does your heart truly love someone else, 

And I was just a stand in, a mere body in a shell?

I tell myself you are lonesome in your pride. 

My door will knock, and there you will be longing to be by my side.

However your actions speak the loudest of them all, 

The knock never comes, but the pride does come before the fall.

I tell myself move on, forget, 

But my heart won't let go of its death tight grip.

The familiarity of this feeling comes creeping in, 

I'm always the fool and the one left wondering. 

I seal the door and shut it tight.

I must keep you out with all my might.

I must keep you out with all my might.

I must keep you out.

I must keep you out.

I must.
