Hello My Name is Tammy

By ToxicLove

Hello my name is Tammy and I lived in the rooms that occupy these halls
You use to love to hear my voice, now you ignore my calls

I slept in the bed next to you, although you never knew that I was there
I cried myself to sleep at night because the hurt was more than I could bare

I walked through these rooms each day and like a ghost I haunted these halls
I confided all my secrets, shared my dreams and my desires all among these walls

I yearned to have your kiss on my lips, your arms wrapped tight around me
But into an empty room you placed me, in this house your prisoner as you ran free

You left me with just a little hope that I meant something more
But each time that I tired to speak you closed another door

You walked through my life with blinders on, you neglected to see my pain
The lies you told, the song you sang has now become my walk of shame

The tear drops fell, I packed my things, this house now stands empty except for memories
I have taken the good ones with me, leaving the bad ones to fuel your misery

My hurt, my lost dreams, my unanswered prayers that once fell upon deaf ears
Now haunt these walls preying upon your fears

For you I will not cry
But for a love I once thought so alive

I will not miss you when I walk away
But what I thought we had a disappointment that will always stay

I will carry with me a lesson well learned
And pray each day that I never again will get this burned

So, good luck to you because while I endured this pain
You will walk thru each and every day marked by betrayal with nothing left of me to gain

Forgive perhaps, I will never forget... but onward I shall travel
While in the days that follow I pray that your life too shall unravel
