You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
A sudden Good-Bye Is not a finality But a paused Hello

What I mistook for your warmth I now realize was actually a freez… You found me, built me up Then destroyed me You claim to care about me

I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
