I was sure that my life would end if ever you left.
I never had to function without you. The thought of it even blew me away.
Yet here I am.
I'm alive and you're gone.
The truth of the matter is that the gut wrenching, tear jerking, sobbing yourself to sleep, life threatening moments only show you where you've been, and the possibilities of where you can go.
Life didn't end for me there, because in reality, life doesn't end until you're dead.

Sometimes we think we know what we want,
what we need,
even what's best for ourselves...
But really in the long run,
we don't have a clue.
We're simply aiming in the dark, hoping we don't miss.

I saw you staring,
But I wasn't caring.
We were walking,
I was talking.
You said you loved me,
I knew it was true.
You kissed me slowly,
I was falling for you.
Hand in hand,
We would stand.
Heart to heart,
Never to part.

All I want
All I crave..
Is the one thing I'll never have.

It's always the same thing day in and day out. The same discussion, the same problems, the same longings. There's nothing I can do to get out of this rut I seem to be stuck in. I can't seem to break this mold. I have nothing to say that I haven't already said; no new emotions, feelings, or thoughts. I'm just so...empty. I should be happy. I have so many reasons to be. But the negativity of those around me has begin to engulf me. I'm downing in a sea of ungratefulness, forgetfulness, hatred, anger, and loneliness. I push everyone away because for some reason I'm still stuck on you. I can't be happy because my family is falling apart, my life is falling apart, my whole world is crumbling before me. I can't even cry about it. I am beyond ready to get out of this goodbye town and start fresh and new. I want to go somewhere and rebuild my outlook on life, love, and happiness. I know that they exist, just...not here. There's nothing this place could offer me. It destroys, distrusts, and degrades. That's not where I want to be.

I know I can't commit to you. As much as I wish I could, and as many nights I stay up thinking about you... I can't. Your life is here and I'll be gone soon. I'm leaving and I'll hopefully never come back. I can't spend the little bit of love I have left on you when I know it won't last. I'm not optimistic, but you've given me no reason to be. I'm going and you're staying in this hell hole. This place ***** the light out of my soul. It gives me no reason to stay, I just wish that you would..

I need a distraction.
Something, anything to get my mind off of this.
To refocus me.
I need something new, fresh, a clean slate.
I need simple,
Anything but this.
