it was something that you said
couldn't get it out of my head
but now it's gone
like family and god
two things
loved lost and forgotten
to me
let's try to figure you out
i need to write this down
and sketch your face
but my memory has misplaced
most of the features
look in the mirror and
it comes clear
i chisel away at you
until my knuckles are white as bone
yeah, i am the architect
build the monument
but this center statue has left me
sleepless for days
i'm not sure what to think
but i've had years to sort out
my bloodied mess of a mangled chest
as my insides just bore out
my bones are left aching
with questions and
it's not like i needed you to need me
i just wanted you to care
now that you have to leave me
i'm left with just the blood we share
it's so fucking confusing
but i'll have to hide
this sadness that consumes me
with no one by my side
you couldn't be part of my framework
not here to kick me in shape
but you've taught me an important lesson
one i'll keep learning day to day
