I have a photo and a broken promise.
A photo to help me through the heartbreak
A photo to keep me sane and in my head where the fire is burning away your memories and the ashes sting more than the flame
I can't find my way out, your promise ties a rope around my neck and gets tighter the farther I stray
I'm choking now
I have a broken promise to fill my eyes with tears and my mind with sorrow
I have a broken promise to hurt my heart when I can't find comfort in my own skin or in the hands of another where I search for the validation I need to feel human in their fingertips
I have a broken promise to break me apart and a photo to remind me you don't care
I wish I could've changed your mind sometimes, I miss you.

I reach out for you
In the only way I know how
But you’re not there
You’ve never been there
I’m kidding myself to think we could be
But still
I reach out for you
Hello, Home. My old friend.
I never wanted to see you again,
But in the back of mind
There’s a place and time
That belongs solely to you.
When the day is right
I've breathed my last breath
let the birds still sing
the sun shine bright
When you find me, with my heart beating no more
stay with my cold body
let your tears fill the marks
that were inflicted behind closed doors
Please close my eyes
they have seen enough
destruction, disappointment, and lies
Take my hands and cover my heart
protect what little is left
so no one can rip it apart
As you brush the hair out of my face
don't ever think u were the one who put me in this place
When you gather to remember me
don't cry...
even though I'm six feet under
just know I'm finally free
