The Downfall of Our Love

I have waited for too long in hopes of you returning
But my blind knowledge has yet to phase my reality
So I soothe my fears with empty, unkept promises
To temporarily ease the pain of my fatality

My shallow, adolescent fears have become my life
Alone, afraid, and uncertainty of what lies ahead
This broken road leads nowhere but to more agony
And each faltered step is only accompanied by dread

I watch as all our memories are swept into the darkness
Carrying all of my hopes for redemption along
And as my world falls apart right before my eyes,
I do not cry. All my energy is put into staying strong

I have written about the forgotten too long
And it's all I can do to not break down and cry
It's becoming apparent that you don't care
But all I ever wanted was for you to try
