You just stood there as I picked shards of you out of my lungs.

I never used to mind being alone until the sheets started whispering things you used to say to me.

You picked up the receiver but instead of her voice you heard the wind howling her funeral song.

I was once your home, but my fear tore the roof apart and you were left getting flooded by my tears

i have lies hidden under my tongue
don't kiss me

my mind holds things that'll bring you to tears
don't try to get inside my head

my heart is black and cold
don't rip it out of my chest to warm it up

my chest heaves whispers mumbling for you to never leave
don't lay on my chest

I woke up, not in a panic this time. I dreamt of pavement grazing upon my back and it took me a while to notice the headlights coming my way

the candlelight flickers shadows on the wall of the one night you and him danced for hours and laughed all the way to sunrise
