Wednesday began to tear me apart.
Thursday didn’t want me.
Friday, you broke my heart.
Saturday surely hated me.
If the week could break a heart.
Then a day ripped mine apart.
Like some sort of organized crime,
I was betrayed by time.
So, I left time for the sky
The clouds, they held me so tight.
I fell in love with the way each star shined,
But only because they reminded me of your eyes.
And every night,
The wind would whisper your name softly in my ear,
And sing to me quietly,
Wiping away my tears.
During the day,
I would lose my soul to the sea.
I only wanted to feel okay.
My intention was not to be a cheat.
I didn’t mean to tear you apart.
I thought you didn’t want me.
I was afraid you’d break my heart,
So, instead, I made you hate me.
Because, every time you told me you didn’t care
I felt lumps in my throat.
And when you weren’t there,
Only the ocean was there to keep me afloat.
Your eyes used to shine so bright,
Your soul was made up of all the sun’s light.
But your eyes don’t shine quite as bright,
Because that’s where you hide all of your lies.
