You broke me open like an egg
Ate my affections for breakfast
Threw the shell in the trash
No more use to you anymore

She looked in the mirror
And saw flecks of his broken soul inside herself

I tell myself it will be okay
As I sit in my room
Clutching my hair at the root
Quivering uncontrollably
Feeling the loneliness run over my skin
Knowing once I break through
The world will stop being monsters
That wear your memory like a Tombstone
Howling at the moon like a cat in heat
I understand what withdrawal feels like
Except my drug is quitting me

It’s just that I always thought I would wind up with my soul mate.
And you were.
But still I feel myself getting very comfortable with settling with someone who makes me forget you.

She turned on her speakers
And listened to her anthology
Of lovers sing through the air

My heart breaks
Quietly
Miles away
As you fall asleep
Without me
