The Remains of Emotion
I’ve been called a masterpiece,
I’ve been called obsessed;
I’ve been referred to as psycho,
and regarded as magic;
I’ve been ignored
by those who hold my heart;
I’ve been fawned over by strangers
when they’re a bit drunk;
I’ve been called an idiot,
I’ve been called intense;
It’s been said that I’m crazy
and the next minute that I make sense;
I’ve been cast aside,
I’ve been told I’ve saved a life;
I’ve been completely ignored
when I really needed help;
I’ve saved all the emotions
I’ve bottled them up;
I’ve since let them become ashes;
The remains of all the letters I’ll never send.
