[hometext] => This is the sequel to Don't let them, so it would be best to read that one first, but either way .
[bodytext] => You always will I can’t get rid of it You created a space for yourself inside me Just because you leave doesn’t mean the space is filled It’s empty now I don’t know if it can be replaced in the same way You care for a few weeks Then I disappear Do you know what it is like to disappear? I don’t think you do Or else I wouldn’t I fade away I didn’t go out with a bang Or sparks or fire works I fade away Like your breath on a cold morning It is there, but it loses shape and identity I’m just another face Another face looking at everything but you But I am staring right at you You just don’t look to see me I wave You give me a half smile And then you walk away I look back, you don’t I give it thought, You don’t give it anything You don’t give me anything You are selfish But why do I still love you? You give me no excuse to At least give me an excuse I’d love to appear again The morning suddenly gets colder Your breath reappears You look at it, it amuses you It fades, you forget it Why shouldn’t you remember? It is only breath Who needs to breathe anyway?
