i don't have much to say anymore
the words have been torn out of my throat,
i watched them drown

i watched myself suffer and crawl my way out of the hell you created
for me

all i can say and all i really know is that i hope you don't break her like
you
broke
me

i should have felt sick when i saw the two of you
but instead i felt empty
and on the car ride home i couldn't feel anything
but i fear this is what i've become

a hollow shell of the person you made me into
lost in my way, wandering, trying to find who i was
before you

i never dream of you anymore

but i sat in my driveway the other night
i killed the lights and soaked in the silence

you pressed on me so hard i couldn't breathe

i realized how afraid i still am
how the fear grips my throat and im choking for air, crying for you to release me

you didn't **** me
but you made me just like you

i don't know what's worse at the end of the day

i've always been a hurricane

rough around the edges
a little too harsh, a little too loud
at all the wrong times

i cry easily and i hold onto anger like a lifeline
but you're soft and charming and you always know what i need to hear
you smooth out the bumps and fill in the cracks

if i'm a hurricane, you're a summer breeze

but i cant help but wonder
how many other girls feel like you're a saving grace?

Sam
Roses by your grave
I guess I'm just a bit depressed
Hiding shadows in my eyes
My heart's put to the test

I only saw the side of you that always tried her best
Captured in the pictures still living on my phone
Your smile has this liveliness
It puts breath inside my chest

You were better than this world
So you left it all behind
On that Monday morning, you climbed up to the sky
Leaving me to live
In the memory of you and I

it's 9:44 now
you're already gone

i can feel it this time in my bones like the air i breathe

you're gone because i told you to go

why didn't you know that's not what i meant
why didn't you stop my pain with your hands

i'm bleeding out,
apply pressure,
stitch this wound i created

tell me there's another world where we exist

tell me we have a perfect life on a perfect street in a perfect house

don't tell me it ends the same every way
don't tell me we always end with our heads in our hands
in separate bedrooms

shoulders shaking like this is the end
because we both know it is

i'm trying to tell you i'm existing outside
i'm not really alive

i'm so much better at being alone than being with you
you want me to grab your hand as a lifeline
how am i supposed to tell you i've already drowned?

do yourself a favor and fall out of love with me
i'm nobody's and i intend to stay that way

always walking out, always leaving
you can stare at my back as i move further and further away

you and i both know we've always felt like letting go

i felt the wind on my skin today
i ran a mile
i laughed with friends
i ate my favorite food

and your face and your name occurred to me occasionally
i realize how much i still miss you
i realize how hard it is not to send that text

but i want you to know that its better this way
that you said we'd cross that bridge when we came to it

my darling, i'm standing on the edge of it now
what do you suggest we do?
