i don't know anymore
what can you do when
you feel like you've lost grasp
of the human being you
might've even trusted the most

the greatest tandem
i thought we were
but then again
probably thats because
i trusted you too much

you ******* me over
so hard, yes, you did
and no words can
ever describe the pain
that i felt, that i feel

and i don't know
what hurts even more
being far from you or
being near to you and
reminding me of the pain

i hate that it all
makes so much sense
i looked up to you
and you up there
looked down at me

so i'll i try to recover
and i swear when i do
i'll run back to you
to make the same mistake—
the best one i've ever made

he can't tell
that she's been crying
while she promises him
she's "fine"
he can't tell
that she's slowly dying
when she tells him
"everything's alright"

you'll lose her
she's fading
this won't last long
you'll be left
empty handed
wondering
where you went wrong
by that time
it'll be
too late
she'll be
*gone.

Your tires sped off
in the direction of tomorrow
while I sat below a streetlight in
the wasteland of yesterday.

Its artificial glow created
silhouettes of occasional by-passers.
(Their footsteps scraped against cold
pavement and the sound reverberated
in my ears like your name.)

Car engines echoed from blocks
over and I mistook them as whispers
from ghosts of our clouded past- reminding me
that we were both once children of the open road;
although, I’m now orphaned on familiar lines of double yellow.
