An evidentiary hearing aid
Support net of onlookers
Laugh at her suffering
Drink it all in, each moment
She'll never grasp what it means
But she needs some hurt
She can no longer turn to me
I'm long gone
Changing of the guard
Left both of us scarred
Echoed in your silent face
Memories of our first place
Happiness lived only in reverse
My latest self-imposed curse
Each day is its own ricochet
As time continues to sway
Inward towards the blockade
Bet she thought she had it made
Only you could cover the wager
Cos nothing will ever phase her
Are you better off yet
Enough to make another bet
Not yet.
