Written out: Generalized Existence

Whose that man
Beside you in bed
One who holds you
Forgotten about me
Toy mannequin man

Domestic violence
Verbal not physical abuse
Slowly you wrote me out of time
All the negative held in your mind
Sadly I wasn’t perfectly divine
Compared to your dreams
Write me out of existence
Ease back into comfort
The heart & mind

How am I seen
Surely not as one of mankind
Carve me a static soul to fit the shell
Into silence my mind words I would never write
Resounding in historical comparison contempt
A comfort treason committed upon me
It mounts itself behind the Television
Whatever version of compatibility
Your comfort resides in today

Domestic violence
Verbal not physical abuse
Slowly you wrote me out of time
All the negative held in your mind
Sadly I wasn’t perfectly divine
Compared to your dreams
Write me out of existence
Ease back into comfort
The heart & mind

Standards held against a picture
Of a man I’ve never met or seen
His scars my love can’t melt away
Soon I’m censored as wicked
A manipulative mannequin
Sorry I’m a bad slave
No justice from you
Not love either
In your mind

As I drift away
Too far out to save
Reconcile the memories
Do you remember me
Or just the history
Who you wanted
That I couldn’t
Ever truly be
