Sometimes I feel unpretty
Running circles around my life In an effort not to remember What I can’t forget That night and many nights when he – I try to forget and I remember That I can’t control the fact that it happened The way it did, or why it did, or when it did Where were you when I needed you? I cried so many times People couldn’t hear me My tears were silent My smile was louder My face was plastered My mind disconnected I blame her I know I shouldn’t They say not to But that is why she’s so hard She wants to prove to herself that she won’t break That no one else will break her or invade the space That she’s made sacred: Her world, her heart She suffers from grief That he made gray And she listens to the sadness That drowns out the music in her ears He is gone But somehow it feels as if he has never left
