your selfish hands,
always expecting more.
your one night stands,
beating the women to the door.

you promise to stay,
to hold her at night,
she cries and she pleads,
telling you things just don’t feel right.

so you lay, beside her your imprint is subtle
she falls to deep breaths,
as you leave in her slumber.

you tell your friends you got her in bed,
as she cries herself to sleep,
wondering if she would rather be dead.

you see her months later,
she died her hair red,
you tell her she looks even greater.

as you take her hand in yours,
apologize for that night,
she gives you that smile,
and walks towards the door.

all it takes is a match
just your touch,
and i’m up in flames.

all it takes is your smile,
just your laugh,
and the house catches fire.

to distracted by the sound of your voice,
to put out the fire you started in my home.

to in love to see the flames building from your lies,
to leave or to stay,

will the burns be worth it?

"it’s been months.
get over it.
just ignore the fact he’s there."

but how could i tell them that looking at you makes me,
sick.
it makes me cold, like the winter finally showed,
it makes the tears gather, the chills run through my body.

but how could i tell them that hearing your laugh makes me,
hurt.
it makes me reminisce on nights when i heard it endlessly,
sweaty palms in the fear that you'll hold them,
the thought of caressing your face.


it makes me,
think.

possibly, this is not the time to be doing this
but how could i tell them im not over it.
it makes me,
realize.

im not over you.
