When I close my eyes
I see the rainbow sky
You were by my side
For the last time

When I wake up again
I’ll see the bloodshot sky
You’re not by my side
For the first time

The stars and the sky align
In my chaotic mind
Shadows of you cry
While I sit and sigh.

I followed
                  the whisper
                                       of the wind
                                                            and it led me...
to you

I saw death as a threat
When I was little
Now I welcome it with open arms.

I thought love was forever
When I was a child
Now I know it was all a lie.

I hoped fate would be forgiving
When I first trusted you
Now I realise that was a mistake
I’m meant to be broken
Like all things in life  
I sure hope it doesn’t
Take away my light.

Say the words
In the correct order and frequency
And you just might see me break

Try and destroy me
Put your hands around and suffocate me
Like the time I drowned in a lake

I snap in the tiniest of circumstances
All the better for the people in my life
Who I’m constantly trying to shake

Push my buttons
Humiliate me and annihilate and me
Because it’s the only way I can cope with the pain.

Called out your name
For just a couple of moments,
You were still here
Stared into the quiet
Conversations in our minds
Laughter in our souls
Then the world turned
And the sun set
The seconds are over
And so, you left us.
