You asked where it all fell apart
And I replied
"We both loved you the most"
She'd never admit it out loud
But all she truly wanted
For someone to look at all her power and strength
And see how terribly fragile she was
What a paradox
When an old lover
Meets the life that continued after it left

You sat in front of me
As we discussed what happened after we gave up on each other
And all the things that you would've been the first to know
I now keep to myself
It doesn't matter
When I met you
I knew it was gonna last forever
Whether it was mutual
Or not
I want to write
In a million ways
All the beauty in your soul
How it's you I desperately crave
But when I sit to write the words
My mind goes blank
My tongue gets twisted
My heart starts to cramp

Look at how much power you have over me
Just thinking about your voice
And I'm crippled on the ground
Unable to do the one thing I do best
I hear your faint whisper
From in between these bed sheets
Taunting me always
With the memory of you

I liked to think we weren't fools
For believing it could've worked
But then again
This bed was too small
And my love was too big

Where do you start
To mend a heart
How about tape
In every place
Maybe with glue
If that doesn’t do
Sew it with thread
Maybe instead
Don’t break it, to begin with

While brushing my teeth
i looked up to the mirror
suprised by what i saw
i smiled for second
and got closer to see it a little clearer
not ashamed when i say i cried
cause what i saw was beautiful
even after all the times i lied
after all the things i have done
with no coming back from
i saw what i thought had died
for the first time
in long time
i looked my self in the eye
and i saw pride
