Where has this path taken us?

I no longer feel you next to me.

But then . . .

You were never next to me.

I just never let myself believe it.

Not you . . .

The wind whispers to me your secrets as I call out your name.

And now I understand that it was an illusion.

You're fake.

And I knew it.

Why don't I care?

Why do I still love you?

I am not that kind.

Is it a bad thing that I cry myself to sleep?

I know that you can say no different.

Before all of this happened,

Before your lies, scowls, and hatred,

You told me.

I listened.

But it is not the same.

We're not the same.

I was there, and you trusted me.

Me.

But you were never there.

Like a ghost, you approached me,

And I blindly followed.

I was pulled into your trap.

The pain inflicted upon my soul has broken me.

Now, I am nothing.

You are dead to me.

And to you, I was never there.

Fake.

An illusion.

I listen to the wind more than I should.

The cool embrace of the dark surrounds me.

They call to me.

Where else do I go?

Alone.

You don't see my heart breaking every time I see you.

You don't see me.

You don't care.

Don't care that I love you.

Don't care that this anger is covering my pain.

Don't care . . .

Why do I care?

Aren't I living for the memories we shared?

I am being swept up in that old, rusty joy.

I know that I am no longer sane.

You did this to me.

My friend . . .

You did this to me.

There should be no love for you.
