I don't want you to miss me
I never wanted you to want me
In fact
I hope you're ten times the person you were with me

*without me
Some friendships are better as memories

we're the kind of stars
they wouldn't dare wish on

perhaps we'll meet again
when we're better for each other
i sure hope so

i ask myself question such as “what if we were wrong, and the earth really is a square” which you gotta admit this would explain why we try so hard to live on the edge, and some people fall off.

And when we fall, we sprout wings like the clipped angel wings that i keep at my bedside to remind me that you still exist

and then it rains, and i go into my normal life contemplation, all my “what is lifes” and my “why is lifes” and then i wonder. maybe it rains like this because the angels are just as depressed as i am.

i sometimes ask myself

how shall i remember you?

is there any specific way that would do justice to your

memory

the hole you left in me

the hole you took from me 
that i’m getting back ever day

or at least thats what i tell myself

but in all this chaotic

dramatic

problematic

bundle of memories

how shall i remember you?

i could remember you as my best friend in the world

because you were
but we both know 
that wasn’t the whole story

i could remember you as the person

who took the light out of their eyes 

because they thought i might be
afraid of the dark
*
because you did

i could remember you as the person who harassed me

made multiple accounts on social media to distract me

when i started to catch on

because you did

i could remember you as the person who once

offered to teach me how to cut

because you did

i could remember you as the person 
who was
always looking for a way to take the stars out of the sky

because you were

i could also remember you as the person 
who
thought you were entitled to my heart mind and soul

because you did

or i could remember you as my best friend

who shared their every thought with me

who only dreamed that i would succeed

because you did

*but thats not the full story
i can't choose

all we had
is nothing
built apon lies
and now that i've left you think it caught me by surprise
but i knew the whole time
thought i could change the melody of our song
but all i changer were the lyrics
we still were being poisened by the piano
at war with the violin
but i'm so tired
i will never sing that song
again

i took the time to look inside myself and say
"what's missing?"
i dreaded this question for so long
only to find out it was a trick question

it wasn't what was missing
it was what was there
like placing a doll in quick sand
and watching it sink there
you sank inside my spirit
creating a hole

only without you
can i be whole
