“You say we’re nonsense together, but nothing makes more sense to me.”

I am grieving a connection that never really happened, a dance of souls that only lasted one day.

Maybe that’s why it was so easy for you to break me, you can always tear the pages of an open book.

When she laughs, her soul floats outside her body and I can touch it.

I wish I can still hold your hand like I used to. I wish you were still alive.

You touch me and a thousand different particles come alive beneath my skin.

I shed skin after skin, seeking my true colors, expecting a rainbow or a stripe of black, but all I get are maps of red. We are all human underneath.

Sometimes I feel like I’m only a drop in your ocean and the waves will soon carry me away.

It was always your dreams we focused on, you never thought I’d have dreams too.

You feed me poison in a spoon of gold and I always ask for more.

You pull away and suddenly I have more room to grow.

Maybe if you hold me tight, our love won’t be as shallow.

And when you win all wars of life, there will remain one you must lose. Time.

I’ve come to see that life does not only exist where you do. There’s sense of life here too.

Nothing hurts me more than when I tell you to leave me alone, and you do.

A year has passed, and even after all that has changed, I know one thing hasn’t. I still want you.

How is it that we mourn the shattered pieces of the love we willingly broke?

She knows she’s got you feeling gray, but in her mind, she’s wishing that you wouldn’t stay. 

They see me smile on Instagram, they think that’s who I really am. But you weren’t there you didn’t see my pain. Your love was anything but vain.

You came into my life, with all your baggage, treatin’ me like collateral damage.

I give. And you take. So why are you always on my mind when I wake?

I swipe right to get you off of my mind, baby all these other boys aren’t my kind

A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you never entirely recover.

Keep telling yourself that things are going to be easy for you even if you don’t know-how.

I feel those nerves, they burn like fire & no matter what, the situation dire.
