I once thought
That being in love
Was better than
Being alone

And then I realized
That with love
Sometimes comes tears
And an empty bed at night

Oh what a world it would be
If love could exist
Without any sadness
Any insanity

A blooming of cold nights
And cigarette smoke
Tend to be what love is
To me

And with you
I have found love
But have also learned
That love is not what I thought it would be
What ever happened to the honeymoon phase?

You told me you were leaving
And I believed you
Then one day you came back
But I didnt need you.
I never thought I would see the world without you in it, but instead I saw the universe.

I scare myself sometimes
When I look you in the eyes
And see myself as something
Just as beautiful
As you do.

Feed me
Those pretty lies
About how
You believed in me
Wanted me
Loved me

They all keep me begging for more.
Grab me in your arms and place your hands upon my hips. Oh, those fingertips.

Dig
You held me close,
Although my body
Ached
As your nails dug deep
Into my forearm
Leaving me breathless
And unable to
Pull away.

I ripped away,
Hoping for your nails to slide out
But with my skin
You took a part of me.
I miss your gentle touch.

Someone once told me
That I was beyond
What the night sky
Had to offer.

And like a silly young woman,
Not knowing how beautiful the stars are,
I believed them.

What a mistake that was.
The night sky was beyond what I was. Even just the stars alone.

You followed me
From room to room
Asking what was next.
Was it the fight?
Was it the scowl?
Was it the tears?
Only I knew best.

I wish you knew
That when you followed,
I wept. I begged
For your effort
For your love
For back then.

You followed me
From room to room
Never asking what may be
The reason behind
My insanity,
My sorrow.

I wish you knew
That it was you.
Your empty heart,
Your black and blues.
Your hurtful words
Your hidden clues.

You followed me
From room to room
And never once
Did you say sorry.
Never once
Did you mean it.

I wish you knew
That I was broken
Into not one, but two.
I wish you knew
How far my feelings,
They flew,
For you, for this room.

I wish you had opened
A page or two.
Why did you never ask?
