to your heartbeat

different state
different city
different coast
miss you, miss me

today here
yesterday there
it’s hard to talk
but I don’t care

you make me happy
that’s all that counts
I think I quite like
having you around

broken
loss
hurt
regret
endless
words
from
my head

try
to cope
shattered
hope
mind
goes
body
won't

pain
sh­arper
knives
of steel
try
to love
try
to feel

hurts
too much
can’t
breathe
please
stop
hurting

it is this purgatory state
that drove me to the edge     
i do not know how others do it         
i'm lost within my head             
wrongs are swirling all around me                 
rights have fell away                     
what's my final resting place,                        
i will have no say                         
you can plea and cry and beg                            
your wrongs are prominent                            
lies won't get lost in his eyes                            
lucky that you're dead                          
it is this purgatory state                        
that made you go insane                   
you apologize for all your wrongs           
but the answer is the same

rip my heart out
go ahead
break my bones now
there's nothing left
i can't feel your pain
just regret
you hurt me before
i won't forget
you wanted me once
remember that
you loved me once
what about that
where did you go
you left
now my heart is shattered
into pieces of regret

terrified, lost,
that's what they said to me,
not worth the cost,
that's what they thought of me,
painfully alone,
or so i had thought i’d be,
broken, on my own,
or so it had seemed i’d be,

behind closed doors,
that's where they kept him,
in other words,
tore, broke and bruised him,
or at least,
that is what he told me,
of the beasts,
that maimed, prodded, shattered me,

together stronger,
that’s what we could be,
unbroken longer,
not broken as all hell could be,
finally unalone,
that is how it felt with him,
finally at home,
i know that i love him.
