you were my whole world
and you decided to tear my body apart

you were my fortress
and you left me drenched in a dark road

you were my definition of love
and your eyes said i better nonexisted
my therapist said "it doesn't matter what happened, what matters is how you perceive it, so ask yourself, what did it mean for you"
pieces of sharp glass
spread across my floor
my emotion overflowed
imprisoned and ignored

i see colors and shapes
but my canvas is blank
thought of a thousand words
but my mouth was shut

wildflowers grew in my chest
yet never been touched by sunlight
you didn't come to my funeral
now you ask if i want to dance

you want to reach out
but i've already sunken
you're wrong if you see me glow
the light isn't for you

i've followed you before
climb to you, swim to you
but you can't see me try
you didn't try to

i don't blame you
but don't blame me
thank you for calming yourself down
thank you for cheering yourself up
thank you for your good intentions
thank you for your best efforts

keep searching, keep running
may God be content with you
there's a crack in my chest

i filled it with flowers,
gold, and sparkles
but it's still empty
i'm still lonely

were you too good at hiding
or had i been hallucinating

i climbed a mountain to find you
but i lost myself on the way
i was sure you loved me once
why do i have to crumble
why do i need to prove that i'm worthy
i was fine before i met him
and until he left,
i got nothing but hard lessons
your answer was like a shooting star
explodes to a thousand butterflies

i thought my heart was filled
but it’s a bottomless dark cliff
and i dressed as the innocent princess
but everyone can see the inner witch

my eyes only deserve to face the ground
weeping bitter slow rivers
and your hand that tries to wipe it
will only burn me into blisters

i took a step toward you and
i’m stranded barefoot in a snowstorm
