Upside Down

Upside Down

I try to forget
But my mind won't let me
Isn't that funny?
My mind became my heart
And it's something that shows me
How to be in pain
But it doesn't matter now
Because I loved you so much
I love you still
And love is forever
But why then have you gone?
I see no answers here
Only mock reality
Where is this going?
All I know is where this has been
And that it is gone from my control
From my grasp
From my understanding
I do not know
Why I still tremble
Why I still shake
But your face is inscribed
Everywhere
And I cannot forget you
Because this has yet to end
But our love lay suspended
Once again
How charming, how quaint
Oh, I know I shouldn't forgive you
But how could I not?
Perhaps, I could resist you
If my knees weren't so weak
If I weren't so weak
But I am what I am
Whatever that may be
I recognize my reflection
But yours is always changing
Make this world of mine make sense
You had that power once
You still do
But, now you just seem to leave me
Upside down and inside out
