Erased, by Amory McKeever

I can't see the lights
and I can't hear the speakers

but I can feel what you said

right down to my sneakers

I am overcome with dread

You say you're leaving me

That love is blind

but just not technically

That love conquers all

except the lack of chemistry

That I have a beautiful soul

but you wish I matched aesthetically

The dance floor melts away

and all the people disappear

This is not my jam

but it's the song I always feared

You say it's not me it's you

but mention how I'm just too weird

That I always had your heart

but now suddenly your mind is clear

That I would surely find someone

but it just came out insincere

That you'll always remember me

as if I'm some kind of souvenir

Of course you chose a public place

Maybe so I wouldn't make a scene

Even though my broken face

Might as well be a scream

No matter how fast my pace

as I headed for the door

What was seen can't be unseen

my spirit's left on the floor

They could have been kerosene

the way you burned me to the core

Or perhaps it was a guillotine

the way I can't feel no more
