I gave you all the love I had to give you
And you broke me into a thousand pieces
Don't take the last of what I am
I gave you eight years
Please don't take another day
I don't want to know what you came to be without me
I'll remember you the way you were
I can only miss the old you

I'm waiting here all alone.
I thought I’d always be a part of you,
Without you I feel so fragile.
If only you’d set me free,
I would fly far far away,
To a better life than the one I have now.
I’m on a low
And you don’t seem to want to know.
Vacant stares, closed doors, empty promises,
I’m struggling to remember what we used to have.
All I know is it was good enough for me to build my life around you.
So maybe I will disappear in the night,
I don’t think you will notice.

Maybe there is another way
We can make this work
I will live for love tomorrow
Because there are only dreams today
I fall into your empty embrace
All alone...
Whilst you consume all my thoughts

*I need to open the window
To hear the sounds of the night,
Anything but the thoughts in my head.
The last thing I want on my mind is you,
But you're always there
In that place between awake and asleep
And there is nothing I can do to stop it.*

*I’m scared to go to sleep
In case the last thing on my mind is you.
I don’t want to miss you anymore.
I should have never thought
That we would be happy.
I fixed the things you said were broken
But all that is left
Is my love for you
That still is not returned.*

*Alone but not apart,
A single beating for two different hearts.
If I find a way to you,
I will feel the way I used to.*

I am still awake,
Thinking of the sheer nothingness of life
I fear I am going to dig myself
Further and further
From a rut even I can't escape from.
Every day,
I still feel like running.
But what if I am sad there too?
I remind myself,
Again and again
Of how I used to be enticed
By this freedom I now have
But I'm struggling to feel that way again
And I can slowly feel myself
Rotting away...
For now I'll have to close my eyes,
Dream dreams that will help me forget:
It means absolutely nothing.

*Rock bottom is the place
where you realise that the
fundamental flaw in your human
character has not been overcome.
And as much as your try to deny it,
it will haunt and hinder you for the
rest of your days.*

*First loves die hard.
A fluttering wasp buzzing
On my window sill
A wing broken
Gasping to breathe.*

I miss you and I wish I could tell you
But I am here
You are there
There is no way to speak
And show you I care
So I write you these words
In the hope you will still be there
When I come back to
show them to you.
