just rip my heart
out of my chest
with your bare hands
and long fingers

throw it out
to the sea

burn it
to ashes

leave it to
gather dust

because that’s
your thing,
right?
that’s what
you do?

and i don’t
want to
change you

Goosebumps rise upon my thin exhausted arms.
The wind , harsh against the little warmth radiating from inside.
It's hard to see through the murky fog of the world.
A cold , dark  world.
There's no rhyme nor reason to continue to exist.
It wanted me out and now it has nearly succeeded.
The only thing keeping me here is the sound inside my head.
The persuasion of reason.

She wears strength and darkness equally well,
Like a sunflower who stands through dust to see the light,
Growing up she was always half goddess and half hell,
Wrapped around her finger like under they’re under a spell,
Every man she’s encountered truly smitten by her sight,
She wears strength and darkness equally well,
Foreign and intricate, “Bonjour mademoiselle”
Men; tons of them but none, fit her quite right,
Growing up she was always half goddess and half hell,
Unique and earthy like an iridescent seashell
But also prudent with a deadly snakebite,
She wears strength and darkness equally well,
With a blazing fire in her soul as pure Noël,
That will keep you warm through the night,
She wears strength and darkness equally well,
Growing up she was always half goddess and half hell.

I miss you when you're gone.
You're gone for far far far too long.
You're standing over there.
I can't find you anywhere.
I miss you when you're gone.
You've been gone so so so very long.
You glanced at me just now.
But you're not here, so I'm not sure how.
You're in a mood today.
It's a shame you had to go away.
I miss you when you're gone.
You've been gone for far too long.

I'll see you tonight.
But I have a feeling you won't arrive.
And when you leave, you'll still be erased.
As if you were never there in the first place.
I'll see you tonight.
But I don't think you'll be there.
You'll be where?
Anywhere, but here.
I'm here.

I don't know how to not miss you
You became such a huge part of me
Even parts of me remind me of you
I see you everywhere
It seems that you have taken up a permanent residence in my head
What once was my heart,
Is now just a sea of thoughts about you
