afterthought

am i just an afterthought now?

a bitter taste you've yet to get out

of your mouth



you just take what you can get right now

but it's not what you need

this can't really be what you want

i don't even see it



why do i keep doing this?

thinking these things i can't ever say to you

maybe because deep down i still feel something

nobody will know you like i do



something just doesn't seem right here

everything is off

it's like i'm not even here right now

i don't even exist to you now

but if i pretend to be, in the past

then these memories will last



i can't forget all the great things

but i can do without the bad



you'll figure it out soon enough

it's too hard to forget you

it's just too tough to leave

but if i have to, then i'll try to

because it won't be quite home anymore
