It's starting again
This feeling that I'm losing control

I feel like she's slowly taking my place
And you're like sand
Slipping through my fingers so quickly
I can't breathe
All I can do is silently cry
With tears of acid falling down my cheeks

But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
