you’re a hopeless romantic
and I’m tired of
you being dramatic
because I’m not in love.

I was at once
but not anymore
so turn off the light
and shut the door.

It’s time to move on.

Based on the ability of how much you’re worth.

I came in crying and left smiling.
Finally I was happy.

You asked me who broke me first.
My throat becomes dry, but not from thirst.
The words catch in my throat,
The tears sting my eyes.

Not because of all the men
In my life that have beaten my heart in,
But because I’m on a boat
Floating across a stream of your lies.

The broken and empty promises you said that you would keep,
Are all turned to tears as you watch us weep.
I remember them all too well
The ones you made when you were half drunk.

We sit here with streams of tears falling from our eyes.
They weren’t that hard to keep, if only you’d have tried.
You think it’s because I fell
And to the depths of despair I’ve sunk.

Oh, how wrong you would be,
And it’s really a pity.
Why can’t you see the reason we’re all broken,
Stands in the mirror before you?

So take this as a lesson,
Maybe a gift or present.
Til your death you’ll carry this token
That not only am I broken, but she is too.

you told me secrets,
you shared your songs.
we laughed and talked
all night long.

we spent days together
in the chilly weather,
holding each other to keep warm.

then one day,
a storm came,
crashing and burning everything built.
nothing would be the same.

the memories are now flashbacks,
to things that are no longer.
i wish you'd be ready,
and you wish i'd be stronger.

i'm standing on the fading line
between being enough and not.
it is here that i teeter totter,
you decide on which side i stop.
