there was this time when i thought it could all work out
when i truly believed that i could fit a square peg into a circle hole
when a raindrop looked like the ocean
blowing things out of proportion and over romanticizing everything
what we had between us was the size of a grain of salt to you
but to me it was my whole world
you were my world

every breath i breathed was readily available for you to have
but soon i found out you wouldn’t just take my breath away
you would ****** it
right when i had my feet planted on solid ground
you ripped them out from under me
till i forgot how to breathe and how to stand on my own

you were my lifeline
and when the lifeline doesn’t know they’re supposed to be supporting you
you have a problem

and maybe that one night that i stayed up and thought of you could have changed everything
maybe if i had thought about all the horrible things you had done to me i would have stopped following you like a lost puppy
with giant innocent eyes that still weren’t big enough to see the flaws in our relationship
or maybe the flaws were just so obvious that i thought they were normal

it’s definitely normal to feel like you have to be someone
you’re not
for someone else to love you

but you didn’t have to do anything
at all
i just loved
and loved
and loved
and you took that love for granted
but now like that breath you snatched from my lungs
every time you walked into a room

and those lips that you kissed just for show
are gone
forever
and i’m taking my massive heart and soft lips with me
don’t you wish you would have noticed what you had before it was gone?
