Crust cut off sandwiches,
brush the knots out of my hair.
Turn the night light on.

Check-in my closet,
read me a bedtime story.
I love you, goodnight.

I feel ok sometimes,
Until I hear a song that reminds me
Of the time we spent together
Even though it hurts I remember

I take that pain with me
Forever, Ill take that pain with me
I was the one who asked you to leave
Now I have tears on the ends of my sleeve

Left me alone in our house
Where the corners still smell like you
No, I'm not ok
But I am trying

I hope reminders of me sting
Like the cuts around my hips
Maybe you don't think of me at all
I will find new arms to break my fall

The morning light hurts my eyes
I feel less hidden
All of my insecurities poking out like the sun
My nostrils hurt from the long weekend

I beg you to be lonely like I am
I am awaiting your call
Even if you don't call I'll still wait
Crawling back to you

With time it is supposed to get easier
That is what they told me
You even told me that yourself
This is much harder when you're lonely

A long way to go
Down a road, I don't know
Will I do it alone
Or with a purpose

My feet are raw
From the path to finding myself
I had hoped to meet you there
You might have gotten lost finding yourself
