All these years.
All these years wasted away.
Wasted away on unexpected goodbyes
On cold reality and cruel lies
On sudden and hurried losses
On taxes and bills and angry bosses
On highschool sweethearts doomed to heartbreak
On burning and flaming anger making you ache
On broken hearts
On old friends split apart
On empty promises
On breakups and last kisses
On bitter resentment
On past mistakes and not the present
On wallowing in self-depression
On working about jobs and professions
On fake facades and masked sneers
On gossiping and preppy peers
On terrified tears and weak pleading
On threats that just hurt your feelings
On fearful hopes just waiting to be dashed on rocks
On being neglected behind doors with locks
On pathetic dreams that’ll never come true
On a world in dull and faded hues
On betrayal and horror filled pain
On wondering in you’re dreaming or just insane
On thinking ‘what if’ and regrets
On loving and crushing those you just met
On dead things
On useless things
On things that don’t matter
for all these years
