You're a
Bottomless bucket
I keep pouring
And pouring
And pouring

Hoping that
If I keep trying
Someday
It'll work
But it
Won't ever
Be enough

I guess
We were
Broken
To
Begin
With.

l.v.s

I gasped for air
When you came near
For I had
Held my breath
A while

I braced myself
For when
You'd disappear

But instead,
You chose
To care.

l.v.s

I've let you go
Regardless of
How you reach
For me
And remind
Me of
Moments past
The thought
Of you
Has left
My mind

We crumbled
To ruin
From neglect

It's too late
To apologize
It's too late
To go back

It's too late
For us.

l.v.s

You chose
To leave
Your mark
On me

Without a
Second thought
Or asking
For my consent

You branded
Your name
In the scattered
Shadows of my mind

Perhaps you hoped
I'd hold a flame
For you
But I'm
Just
Burnt out.

l.v.s

I can't promise you a thing
I can't promise you me
I can't promise you us
I can't promise this will work
I can't promise you that I'll stay

For promises are no more
Than a delusion

Nothing is guaranteed
Nothing is written in stone

But I can hope

I hope I get to talk to you
I hope you're here tomorrow
I hope that you care
I hope that we smile
I hope we create memories

I hope if we part ways
That we're glad
We met each other

I hope
We don't
Regret a thing

l.v.s

I find myself here
Next to you

It's been some time now
It's hard to say
But it's true
Things between us
Are through.

l.v.s

Right through the heart,
that's where you should aim.

A piercing shot,
You won't get the blame.

I'll set up the weapon,
with the sharpest arrow I can find.

I'll let you take the shot,
from in front or behind.

It's lined up properly,
so make no mistakes.

But this isn't the first time
that you have harmed me.

Why must I return to you,
Time and time again?

Take your terrible treatment,
As if it's something I deserve.

Soon I won't stand the sight of you,
Eventually, you'll get on my last nerve.

l.v.s and IM
