Figments

by Bella Victoria

Come here, please

Come lay here with me

I’m all alone, can’t you see

I just need your company?

I read through our old texts

I know I should’ve just got some rest

But I couldn’t help but believe

Maybe you still love me

Please

I miss the sound of your voice

I miss when you would say you love me more

I miss the way you used to look at me

But now I’m a ghost to you and you can’t see anything

One day you left me

And I remember your words exactly

I wanted to talk, I wanted closure

You said, “I just don’t like you anymore.”

I thought that we were in love

I thought we had something nobody could touch

If you could tell me why it changed

If you could tell me when, cause it’s been racking my brain

I’ve been racking my brain

For what seems like days

But it’s been months and I’m hung up

I still love you so much

You would say I love you more

But we both know that’s not true anymore

I always loved you more

(One day, you left me)

It’s just a song about my ex

(And I remember your words exactly)

As I reread our texts

It’s just a song about my ex

(It feels like you’re a figment of my imagination)
