I wonder if I know I can't change him / I repeat it to myself / "He cannot be changed.

They say I'm crazy when I sleep with the window open / and it's 2 degrees outside / but I promise it's the only way I can breathe

After-taste
Sometimes I wonder what you think of me. Do you hate me? Do you call me names? Put me down? Laugh about me with your friends? Those thoughts hurt. I don't like to think those thoughts. / I often have to remind myself that it is none of my business what you think of me. It's simply not. Those are your thoughts and you have them for whatever reason and that is okay. We are both grieving and probably coping differently. / In a few months time I know I will just be a memory for you and you will just be a memory for me. I hope by then I still won't be just a bad after-taste.

Survive
I am going to survive this because one day I'm going to have a daughter. And she will be heart broken. And I will not be able to save her. But I will give her the tools she needs to save herself. / I am going to survive this because I have a mother. She has given me the strength and support I need to get through this. / I am going to survive this because my friends are trying their best to hold my hand and make the pain go away.

I Wish I was Over You
I once wrote you a poem / and you said you cried / as your eyes scanned the lines

My Goodness it Still Hurts
Call me pathetic as I cry on the bathroom floor clutching your t-shirt and screaming to God with piercing words / Please give me strength / Call me a mess because my hands are shaking as I write this and I'm not sure where it will end up

Do not tell me you love me / If you love me you would pay for dinner sometimes / If you love me you would kiss away the pain

You got under my skin / You flow through my veins / I feel you in my finger tips
