Tears dripping down my chin
Water collecting in deep lines
Beginning to feel insecure again
Painted mind should see silken signs

Circular thoughts of sadness and shame
Pool into large puddles of self-loathing
Pondered epiphanies spill out of my head
You stand by, watch them stain clothing

I am on my hands and aching knees
Sorrow outweighing endurance and bliss
My existence is heavier
Each moment feel less and less

Golden guesses and hypotheses are yours
The ambition is gone from my soul
Expand the horizons of written thoughts
After self-acceptance so I can be whole

Sit there fumbling for the right words to say
Your freshly worried face in my sight
Self-hatred forcing us to drift further from happiness
You win with passion, fight with kisses every night
You help me more than you understand

Saw her standing on the tracks
Dressed head to toe in black
A smile sat upon her lips
Eyes were sad like sinking ships
It feels incomplete

I did not know that anything
Could hurt this much
How were you able to leave me here?
Hollow, aching for your touch.

Each breath I take feels wrong
Now I know you do not care
Since you left, I can't think
Life isn't going anywhere.

The sky is crashing on me
I'm behind you with nowhere to go
What I thought was my shelter turned out to be
Nothing more than a state of limbo.

I do not deserve this, it isn't fair
How could you recklessly toss me aside?
Didn't I make you smile enough?
Couldn't see how hard I tried.

Wish you knew how much you meant to me
How much I long for your kiss
If you saw how much you hurt me
Would you change your mind about all of this?
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure.
