Hunger

Vestigial Remorse

01 - Hunger

yesteryear you came to me
and said you’d be my friend
never told me what that meant
as i invested all i’d yet to spend

yesteryear i came to you
and said i wanted more
slowly you caved to me
you said i could have it all

yesterdays fade and blurred to one
as you slowly starved this dog
and hunger was just a price to pay
to see your loving eyes

you had no time to be with me
with my petty flaws you leased
so much time too be free
to each of my hidden enemies
you stabbed me in the back
… dishonored me
… and blamed me for your faults

yesteryear you came to me
and said you were my friend…
never said that what you meant
held malice in your heart
never said that what you were
would tear my soul apart
