You Were

You were, but you're not anymore
Inklings old and new
Nothing more to leave behind
Nothing left to lose

Discarded days let drift away
Or taken by the cold
Drawn out on a splot-filled page
A perforated plague

Forgotten faces
Staggered glances
Years and years let go
Lost romances
Gaps in transit
Clever hidden foe

Remnants again
Pieces that perplex
Characters and monuments
Parts that made a soul

Calendars of artifacts
Tickets to the shows
Evidence of promises
Only emptiness is known

If memory is history
If remembering means everything
Then why can't it be free?

Discarded days let drift away
Or taken by the cold
Drawn out on a splot-filled page
A perforated plague

Remnants again
Pieces that perplex
Characters and monuments
Parts that made a soul

Please don't go
I'm saying so
'Cause I'm scared to find
At the end of the line
There will be nothing on the end of the rope

Remnants again
Pieces that perplex
Characters and monuments
Parts that made a soul

You were, but you're not anymore
Inklings old and new
Nothing more to leave behind
Nothing left to lose
