as the acid runs down my face
out of my eyes
I feel it all across my cheeks
leaving burn marks
where it touched my skin
most people
would hate the feeling of this
but for me
it's normal
I'm used to it
I like it
no..
I love it
I love the feeling
as the acid burns my cheeks
it makes me forget
how much I miss you
it takes that pain away just for a bit
but yet I still think about you
I think about us
our love
our hopes
our dreams
I never thought
I would see you go
or ever have to miss you
but I do
every drop of that acid
represents you
and all your memories
and tonight
that acid pours out

our love
is like a song
something I fell asleep to
every night
the song never seemed to
come to an end
I could just listen
to the beautiful sound of
the instruments playing
every night
it was like the sound of your voice
telling me you loved me
something I always looked
forward to
it was calming and peaceful
when go to sleep
and I listen to that melody
every now and again
I hear something a little different
but I didn't think anything of it
maybe it was to make the song better
as time went on
it kept changing
but now it's completely different
it's louder and not soothing
the instruments are out of tune
to the point they sounded like screams
our screams
I remember
during one night
I was listening to that song
the instruments sounded louder
than it has ever been
and in the middle
it got silent
no longer was our song playing
all I heard was dead silence
never again
did I hear our song playing
it had officially ended

holding onto you
is like holding your breath
sooner or later
you won't be able to breathe
you will just be gasping for air
or you will suffocate yourself
but letting go of you
seems impossible
I don't know if I can
I don't even know if I want to
I am still in love with you
I just wish you were
still in love with me
then maybe
I could breathe again
and I wouldn't have to just
hold onto you
I would have you

are we two different people
or too different people
we used to be like one
inseparable
loving
compassionate
considerate of the other
and so crazy in love
as time goes on
this place will always be the same
but we aren't
we have changed and still are
as we change
we grow further
and further apart
seems like I don't know
know who you are anymore
or do I not know who I am
the longer we stay this way
the more and more it falls apart
everything used to fall into place perfectly
we don't even know what
good looks like anymore
let alone perfect
we want different things now
we used to just want each other
and everything would be okay
with just that
what happened to us
going back to what we used to be
is impossible
we are just too different people now
