i'd be lying if i said
i  miss you
i'd be dying if i
stayed with you
i'd be crying if i
never left you
but now i'm smiling
because i finally
dumped you

from the moment i saw you
i knew you were something amazing
like a rose growing from concrete
you pushed your way through the dark
and into the light of day.

the fire in my heart
melted the ice in yours
the dribbles trickled down
into me and put my fire out.

i drink because it brings back memories
and memories bring back you
...

me loving you
was me sealing my fate
you slowly turned up the heat
little by little
and like a frog,
i was oblivious
to the fact
that you were slowly
boiling me alive.

The worst part of it all
is feeling this pain in my heart
and not knowing
who it belongs to

i bought a vacuum sealer today
not for food
for you
for your clothes
you died before we did your laundry

your smell lingers on the ***** shirt
your intoxicating smell
your smell i will never smell again

i bought a vacuum sealer today
not for food
for you
for your clothes
vacuum sealed to keep your smell forever
because i can never let go
