i forgot about the nest
of butterflies lying
at the bottom of my stomach,

turns out they were just playing dead

got your hand off my hand,
the thought off you off my mind,
the pain lifted off my heart,
your name off my tongue,
off you go baby

letting you go
costed less
than keeping
the pain your
presence brought

I re-release you

blessings
have such a
weird disguise,
it’s almost like
if i were to describe
the heart residing
in that cold body of yours.

I warned you about
the distances
I'm willing to travel
just to leave behind
the trace you had left
on my heart,
on my mind,
on my body,

and now I'm somewhere
making better memories,
with new songs you didn't ruin,
breathing air you can't intoxicate,
wearing my heart on my sleeve again,
unafraid to let my scare away all the wrong
people away from my life.

I didn't listen carefully
to the lies you told,
the empty promises you gave,
and your play-on-words...
