You Still Linger



Why do you still linger
In the nights when I’m afraid
I feel your tracing finger
I wonder if you might’ve stayed

You told me what you loathed
It crushed me to hear my own flaws
Brought out in the sun, unclothed
The pain of rejection still gnaws

You left me alone on that curb, so cold
Is that where my sins all lead me? 
You’ve made me feel wicked and old
And there’s nothing good left to see

It’s odd how sadness ages a soul
Weariness is all the day has to give
Darkness threatens to swallow me whole
Dark is the life I’m meant to live
