The Battle of Waterloo

Your face is drained
Your limbs stick to the sides
You want everything to burn
You want it all to burn away
You smell the perfume
You can feel her in your arms
You fit together so neatly
You can imagine it in your mind
You move together behind your eyes
You leave through the side door
You're so afraid to make a scene
You're so afraid to catch a glance
You want it all to be yours
You want to lose yourself for a while
You know it's all one big ruse
You know it's the perfect distraction
You know that you will take it in stride
You look like you've seen a ghost
You are done with who you were
You are not the person who entered the room
You are leaving and you're not going home
You are leaving and you're leaving alone
