you put me to sleep,
wrapped in last words and lies.
kept your cowardice from my eyes.
then i woke up alone,
you had torn me apart,
kept my throat from its scream,
felt too numb for a meaning.

i put you to sleep,
trembling hands held you close,
i loved what loved me,
but you loved me the most.

i wish i had more,
just to end this poor dream.
where my mind felt so well,
while you stole what it means.

remember when you broke me so?
taught me terror that i hadn't known?
questions that would weigh me low.
traveled sand just to feel the snow.
across the world, then frozen cold.

all the lines that i crossed,
just to be in your arms.
never thought that I'd lose,
buried deep in your harm.
like a splinter left in,
caused a changed in my growth,
threw a tilt to my world,
severed love i won't know.

i married the ground,
the sky was too loud.
i moved to your town.
those waves were so crowded.
i climbed higher mountains.
i met all my demons,
you wouldn't accept,
they held all the faces,
i could not escape.
fast forward to now,
a drink in my hand,
a job i can't stand,
melting in snow,
like drowning in sand.

i loved you,
when that wind blew your hair.
i loved you,
when my thumb brushed your tears.
i loved you,
when i thought you didn't care.
i loved you,
when you weren't there.

your face in that country,
it still remains lovely.
the love that it broke,
once left me with nothing.
and know I've loved angels,
but nothing as true,
all the life that i gave them,
was once all for you.
