Figment of the Past

One night while stirring up the traumas
That have been locked inside my head
I slowly came to a revelation
As I laid lifeless on my bed
And though I cannot tell you
For the complexity is vast
I can finally asure you
You're a figment of the past
Months ago--maybe years
You told me you were mine
Then crushed up beneath the dirt
When all the love turned to hurt
I came across familiar artifacts
That I regarded as a find
But in the dawning days
Before the storm came through
I didn't know I was in peril
I couldn't see that side of you
Then days turned into weeks
And the weeks went by so fast
And I swear to you right now
You're a figment of the past
When broken in my room
You went through all the lines
And I'm stunned I couldn't see it
But you were never mine
You held me up--or so it seemed
In good times and in bad
Then one day, you let me go
And we lost all we ever had
She walked right by your window
I stood beside your agony
Coursing like the wild river
You began to run away from me
Once I caught right back up
Once I stayed far behind
Once I couldn't keep the pace
I knew that you were never mine
And here I lay, running through these scenes
Of senseless, worthless fantasies
Then you came into my midnight dreams
Where nothing's quite as it seems
And in my recollection
It was there all along
You say that I'm to blame
But I swear I'm still the same
You can point your finger
But you were wrong
No more beatings in the night
When I can't stand to be alone
Because really, even next to you
I never felt at peace; at home
You tore my soul out from under me
I let you take the best of me
And what was mine in return?
Waiting for the final burn
When she walked in and stole my heart
When I knew things were falling apart
And when I spoke the words
Not knowing where to start
My revelation stands to be
You were never right for me
You were a lesson I had to learn
To protect my future and prevent the burn
And though the searing wounds still stings
I've come face-to-face with more painful things
I don't need you now
Like I did before
I don't need your lies
Anymore
Time grows thin with each passing day
And I'm alright with losing all we had
If it wasn't for your brutal deciet
You wouldn't be a figment of my past
And I wouldn't have acquired what I now have
