I can feel a million thoughts
threatening to break free

I try and be happy beside you
truth is
I want to fall to the floor and cry

I know I'll be okay
but I was hoping you'd tell me

now I'm sleeping alone
I have all night to cry

I'm afraid I'll wake up and not find myself

this isn't what I pictured
didn't know that sunset was our last

I felt the sunlight rain down on me
I held it as long as I could

deep breaths
I'm not alone

I have to remind myself
in this empty house

I missed you so much
I kept you away

you saw the ugly and lost
I wasn't half full

those days
I forgot the moon existed
the stars were taken

pushing you away
I want you to see a better me

I hate the way you love me
even after I treat you like a nobody

a lot of people
visit manhattan
without ever wanting
to call it home

but that’s okay—
i’d rather be
the upper east side
than your white picket fence
any day of the week
the thing about the city
that never sleeps is...

it never loses sleep
over anyone

On our first date,
I took her to a romantic place,
We kissed and she smirked.
Every time she looked at me,
she giggled,
When she left I realized my zipper was open.

I said no to drugs once.
I looked a bag of **** right in the face
and, like a loving but firm father,
I said, "No."
I was really high.
