I knew you were a mess
You told me so
But I still came close

You were like a puzzle, that I wanted to fix
But you warned me
There was a missing piece

You said you had sharp edges
I said I was attracted to those
With dripping blood

You said your mind was dark
And still I tried to enter
But I think I went in too deep

Darkness consumed me
And in the end
I could never be your missing piece

It makes me feel alive
The way you used to

It burns as it runs through my veins
But I liked it better when you were the one giving me warmth

It keeps me sane. It keeps me together
But I still wish it was your voice telling me it would all get better

It makes me forget, at least for a while
It is the only escape I've found

You ask why I get intoxicated every night
The only answer I can give, is to get your ghost away from me

Do you remember everything we said?
You promised you wouldn't forget
Now you barely know my name
I wish I could forget just as easily

But your words have been engraved in me
I was like a piece of wood
In which you carefully carved
Each and every letter

From your mouth came out music
From your hands came out art
I was your master piece for a while
But now I just wish I could back to a white canvas

He is the unforgettable type
Everything he does
Everything he says
Is just instantly burned forever
To the back of your head

Sometimes this just occurs
You don't notice
You don't see it coming
Feelings come out of nowhere

But in cases like this
You see this person coming
And you know they are going to be important
Feelings start growing
Feelings you can't avoid

You start falling for this person
And you can't help but do so
You know they may hurt you
You're giving them the power to
But you hope they won't

Because that's the problem with the unforgettable type
They burn so bright
Until they consume you
And they shine like they never have before
Like you never will
Because ashes is all you are left with
