Silent Witness

Silent Witness

You're the one he asks for

You're the one he needs.

I beg he forgets you,

Whom he longs for,

Because he's my only greed.

I built him temples,

And watched as he worshiped you instead.

I built worlds for my creed,

But you were the deity all along.

I will ask you to leave,

And watch it all unravel.

I wanted him to abandon the temples,

But I watched his body rot by your feet.

So I ask you not to leave,

For you are his creed.

I will watch from the sidelines,

For my heart will bleed

Every time you pass me by.
