I stopped looking
for my other half
in other people
the moment I realized
I was already whole
within myself.
I find no shame
in my solitude
now that alone
I do not feel lonely.

I am starting to realize  
That although you are beautiful
You are not the only beautiful person I will ever love
I am starting to realize  
That I miss you less every day
And breathing has come easier to me recently
I am starting to realize  
That my chest does not cave in as it once did
At the sound of your name
I am starting to realize  
That there is no point in grieving for the one page
On which my name was once written
When I have become a thousand new chapters
In my own story
I know I loved you then
Perhaps I always will
But I no longer collapse for you as I once did
And I never will again

You were
My sigh of relief
And now
You’re gone
And I’m sitting here
Gasping for air

i had no idea what love was
until it disappeared
or the joyful sound it made
until silence was all that i could hear
or the beauty that it held
in a single tear
i had no idea what love was
until love disappeared

i had no idea what love would take
until it was gone
took apart this wanting heart
left behind this weary soul
would i have let it get this far
if only i had known
i had no idea what love would take
until love was gone

Cigarette butts rest in the guts of who we once were
Young to love
But not too young to feel pain
The pain of knowing
We killed this long before we could save it
and now we live day by day
As corpses consumed by the
Death of a love so real and so sweet
It rotted us from the inside out
Didn’t you know
Sugar gives you cavities

when ever i hear your name
my heart instantly
sinks
to the bottom of a
sea.

a kiss
a cry

i'll miss
your smile
i loved
your eyes
such sweet
designs

i fell
you climbed
drop by
sometime

we kissed
we cried
i'll miss
your smile

this is
goodbye

I knew from the moment I first saw you that you’d only bring me pain
But I always try to see the good in people
I guess for you I fought in vain
Loving you was like being stabbed in the heart with a needle

And still I try to remember the good times
I try to remind myself of the laughs we shared
But I have to admit that you committed many crimes
And if I’m honest all I ever was, was scared.

I see now that I was a fool for loving you
And that I deserve better than what you made me feel
A tragedy was what was the love between us two
I will need years and years to heal

You promised roses.
Laughter. Forever. Long nights.
Yet only gave goodbye.
Trying to improve this one.. its not really inspired by my life so it seems.. lackluster.
