They spewed rumors like sparks

So I turned into flames

I engulfed them with my self-love

And burned out all their hate

My being alone is a choice
I refuse to settle for someone simply because they present themselves to me
I will never be with someone out of emptiness for I am whole by myself
I cannot give in to mediocre love merely out of physical attraction and try to ignore how his company makes me feel more lonely than when I am just alone

My only problem is
You set the standards incredibly high
You make every one else seem mediocre
And I am having a hard timing loving anyone who tries to follow your footsteps

10 months later
And people assume that I should be done healing
They forget to ask me how I'm doing
They seem somewhat annoyed when I mention you
And maybe it's because they've never had their hearts broken like this

But I?
I have to start all over everytime a holiday passes and it's the first time I'm not spending it with you
I have to start all over everytime something important happens and I have to remind myself that I can't call you to tell you

Every morning I have to start all over because even my dreams don't know how to let you go

They tell me that she's dumb
They tell me I'm much prettier
I spew hateful words about a girl I've never met
And a boy a I used to love

But the truth is
None of it makes me feel any better
Because it doesn't bring you back
It will never make you mine again

Her broken heart fell into a slumber
Her body never wanted to wake it up from

You broke my heart when you left
I broke my own heart by loving you every day since
