Come See

Come see what hopes forgotten
see past the empty space
faces and places I once belonged
gone without a trace
You say it’s me, but you don’t know
I’m only what you see
you never crossed the place apart
past pretend and make believe.
I’m dying in this river
I’m melting in the snow
slowly becoming nothing
and no one will ever know.
You can’t not mourn my passing
I was never even real
I just played the part you gave me
the shadow you can’t kill.
I’m dying in the river
I’m drowning in this skin
I release my soul to nothing
the beginning and the end.
