You Don't Hear My Name Anymore

• Artist: sahrmael
• Description: Having finally come to terms with the truth of the betrayal (as expressed within my last piece, "Remnant"), I've written "You Don't Hear My Name Anymore" to express two things that, I think, most people have difficulty accepting: Forgiveness and Letting Go.
  Comments are welcomed, but I only ask that you are kind, that you do NOT attempt to flame this piece, or make light of the emotions expressed in it. Thank you.

It wouldn't surprise me if I were to hear
From a trusted new source, that you've yet shed a tear
For the things that were lost, that were broken and torn
Away from a dream, thanks to evils now born
In you.

Even so far away, I can still see it all.
And it pains me to see that you continue to fall
Into the abyss; Drowning in an obvious way,
But from here, I know there's not a thing I can say
To save you, 'cause I know you still won't hear me.
So why make an effort when I see your hate for me
So clearly?

In the beginning, we both felt the blast
But that was together. And now that's all in the past,
And, since then, I've grown tired of wasting my time
Tryin' to get through your skull with this worthless rhyme.

I hoped it'd never come to this,
But I'm sick of this crap, and a long-dead wish
That we'd look back on those days
And laugh together at our childish ways.
It's ironic, that I gave you, my friend, my trust
Only to have it kicked in my face like the dust
That we walk on.

So, don't be surprised if you don't hear my name anymore
'Cause you wanted, instead, to open that forbidden door.
So, I'm through here, and I can only wish you the best
As I move on with my life, and finally put this all to rest.
