sometimes
words make it hurt less
but most of the time
they don't
mc Sep 2013
take something ugly
        (you and me)
and turn it into something beautiful
                                      (us)

I thought I loved you
while you barely thought of me at all
mc Sep 2013
my heart now calls
for no one in particular

there's no longer a face
                             (your face)
etched into my heart

I'm empty
           empty
               empty

and I've never been more glad
mc Sep 2013
the thing I fear the most
is the feeling in the pit of my stomach
when you smile

people always say

“you should stay close to the things

that make you happiest to be alive”

but what am I supposed to do

when the thing
that makes me happiest
 to be alive

lives so far away?
mc Aug 2013
I always held you in my heart
   while you held me at arms length

but by the time I forced you out of my heart,
   you finally held me in your arms.

After all this heartache,
   my heart is scarred
and I don't know where to hold you.

      (all I know is that your arms feel like home)
