Fading

You're finally fading from all my internal discourse

Your name doesn't echo in the chambers of all I regret

Your face is faulty, the voice doesn't line up with your expressions

I wonder if you still recall me

I've tried so hard to prevent your name from slipping out of my mouth

In a way I wish I still missed you

Saw you for everything you promised you cared about

Gotten in your car and driven off into the unknown

Instead of crashing into the couch at home

But damn if you never broke my heart

I wouldn't be where I am now

With your laugh gone and your smile gone, but now my tears are all gone as well
