Erased

you touched my heart and it melted like ash
no sash could tie the charred pieces back into their original shape
no tape could keep it together
whether you stay or go i'll never be the same
now shame follows me
swallows me whole
my soul locked up in guilt
my identity now built on shadows and masks
she asks me who i am and i have no answer
your numbing cancer has eaten away my very core
i pour my heart out on the page and it's blank
my tank has only fading stains where my blood-ink used to be
you see, my pen is running dry
and no matter how hard i try, the pages of me are fading as though written in invisible ink
in a blink, another page gone
the most devastating con: erased identity
as if i was never meant to be
