A salt water river runs from my eyes
I muffle the sounds of my breaking heart
Your girlfriend tore through like a tornado
Left a heartless path of destruction
You’re so wrapped in lust
You’re completely blind of her toxicity
Kept under thumb of rules a regulation
A relationship of dictatorship
All I ever wanted was a friend in you
All that’s left is a shadow of existence
And the hardest goodbye
Every time I get comfortable
Without you
You show up again.

Every time I get used to sleeping
By myself
You crawl into my bed.

Every time I fall in love
With you,
You leave me again.
The way we love hurts my heart.
I miss you
Now and always
I missed you yesterday
And for all future tomorrows
I shed a tear
Just for a moment
And resume my life to before you.
But still
I miss you
Us
They say when you meet the one you’ll know
That from the moment your eyes meet
Everything falls into place
A weight lifted off your shoulders
Singing, this is it

From the moment our eyes crossed
I felt everything all at once
I knew you were all I ever wanted
I still feel that
I still know that

You’re not there right now
You don’t see what I can
How good us can be
So for now I’ll wait until your heart is ready
Because my heart tells me it’ll always be us
I’m done making excuses for you
I’m done trying to justify your actions
I’m done defending you
I’m done fighting for you
I’m done crying over you
I’m done talking to you
I’m done hurting over you
I’m done making time for you
I’m done loving you.
You’re sweet and kind and it’s annoying
I just go about my day
I’m done with you
You don’t want to commit to me
You’re not interested in me
And that’s fine, I’m fine with that
Then my phone pings
Hi babe
And I just melt into this stagnant pool
Of longing and lust
My breathing becomes erratic
My heart is trying to break out for freedom
You’re sweet and kind and everything I need
Fallen sunsets and blurred eye rises
Meaningless chit chat and infectious laughs
Long hugs and deep gazes
All come to a stand still
As another girl enters our world
I’m again dropped out of existence
I don’t think I’m going to be there when it ends
When you find that this girl is still not me but skinny
I won’t be there to massage your ego
To reassure you that I think you’re perfect
For you to hold through cold nights
How many girls are you going to go through
Before you realise the only one who’s going to be like me
Is me
