I left everything the same

I no longer say your name

I've hung on for way too long

In fear of moving on

The clock stops ticking

The hands aren't moving

I am staring at a portrait of a past life

A divide is growing

My fear is building

I am hanging on the wall in a past life

No more ties to bind us

An agonizing distance apparent in your eyes

Nothing left of what we were

I am only dust on your memory

I left everything the same

And pretended it could not decay

From the day you were gone

I ignored the world in fear of moving on

I burn the portrait

Erase it forever

I end my past life

Doomed to relive it
