I remember when you asked if I knew her name
These memories choke me with pressure
You can’t just leave with her
From the same bar we used to leave together
Memories
My Facade
November 22nd, 2023
For the comfort of other people
I downplay my emotions
Will they ever know me
I’m going through the motions
I live behind a facade
Do they see my bluff
They say that less is more
So I starve to be enough
Letting people in is not safe
Though it’s something that I want
But I’ve lived this performance
With memories that haunt
Like a baby blanket
I carry these feelings around
I will never be who I want
If I never let myself be found
The Busby

“Do you ever think about me”
When you hear music we used to love
Or am I like a distant memory
You want to get rid of
We were getting too old
To be playing these games
So when you burned the bridge
I fanned the flames
Maybe I was the architect
But you had the army
So I bulldozed every memory we had
It’s like you never even knew me
