This is the thing

I’ve been quite the fool

And you’ve quietly let me

I am lonely

And you see me fight it alone

I know you cause me pain

And I should colour you black

I try to wrench you open

And every single time I fail

I’ve no fight left in me

But the eyes blazed with ambition and confidence

I don’t know if you’ve even noticed at all

That lately the eyes are blurring

I feel the secret’s out

And you smile behind my back

Your mind’s made up

And your heart is closed

You might lend me your hand

But your heart is shut away

I dont know if you notice anything missing

That I’m long gone

This is the thing.
