Broken promises.
All it was amounted to
Was a string of broken promises.

You're going to meet no resistance
When you decide you're ready
Once you've made it clear that you're looking
They'll be jumping in your way to catch your attention
"Over here! Over here!" They'll cry,
Begging for a moment of your fancy.

I already know,
Don't you?
You'll have no trouble
Putting on the other shoe.

With every sunset
I can see more clearly
That I was the one holding the rope
I was the one stealing your air

I am the reason I'm alone.
But I'm not the only one.

Two broken things don't make a whole.

I know your frame
Too well
For you to be
Just a face in the crowd

You're going to be just fine
You've suffered greater losses
Than the likes of me.
Hell, you suffered for me.
It's only fair that I relinquish any hold on you
Set you free from the charcoal chamber of my heart.
I can feel the grates cracking beneath your clenched hands

Run.
Run from here before I devour your light.

Seek the daytime,
Embrace the sunshine, my friend.
No more rainy days
Here comes the sun.
Just for you.

Since we met,
a day has not gone by



Where I do not think of you.

I will keep writing until it stops hurting.

Even if it's just rewriting our conversations in my head

Over and over


And over
