on my birthday
everyone wished me
saying i'd get everything i wanted

truth is
i don't want anything

the only thing i wanted
was you

and everything took you away
from me

the wishes won't be enough
the prayers won't be enough
the tears won't be enough

because my love for you
was never enough

it's been a while
i know you feel it
i do too

was this it?
everything we built
was meant to end at this?

it's been a while
since i've been the reason
for that smile

the one that reached your eyes
and swelled my heart
oh so tight

but now your lips are clamped
with no words for me
as i have no words for you

the ones who wrote stories
of countless nights
have no words left
to say goodbye

i hope you don't blame me
for where we are standing today

i know i talked about distance
of me getting away

but i promise to you
it's not me who let you go

i still remember our vows
of never letting go

but i can't hold onto you
once you've pulled away

i got tired too
of that vacant stare

and this is where time has brought us now
a stranger is what i see in you

i've started wearing
dark clothes
because i'm scared
you'd see the stains

stains of blood
on the left side of my chest
where my heart bleeds
every single minute of every single day

it once had a home
it once belonged to you

you had it in your palm
a vital piece of me
yet you squeezed it
and threw it away

and now it bleeds everyday
yearning for the one
who let it get away
