Written Out of the Story

I lost everything to you

It couldn’t be helped

Wouldn’t want to mess with fates design

I keep thinking if only, I didn’t give you everything

Laid all of myself in your lap

Looking back I see it all as a melting image

I was loosing it then

Before it was all gone

I got attached to an idea

To the look of us side by side

Holding hands through grocery aisles

I made up my own story in my mind

Never did I consider fates grasp

On all the rest

Foolishly I placed all my bets on you

On some version of future us

Whims and paper I built it up

Fate and reality took it from my hold

You fell out of my story

Just as quickly as your name was written
