there are phantoms making their home in the corners of my eyes.
you know the spot where you think you see them but they disappear when you to turn to look.
must be remnants of last nights dreams that i can not shake from subconscious
because they know what today is, or what it was supposed to be at least.

one year ago today i gave you 365 days to make a decision, stay or go.
we made each other promises, ultimatums in wolves clothing,
of what would happen when we reached today's date and bargains weren't upheld.
if you couldn't make up your mind, i was making it up for you.
i could stay and continue. i could stay and live my life. i could move on.

one month ago, i broke the promise we made and 1 choose our fate.

i know you probably don't remember this date and that's fine.
because i don't want to remember you anymore.
