i'm trying to save you
from falling into
the 6 foot hole
you're digging
for yourself.

it was every day,
then it was sometimes,
and now it's nothing.

what happened to us?
we were perfect;
we were everything.

but now i've moved on,
because you left,
and i chose myself.

so, thank you:
thank you for letting me be myself.
you meant more to me
than you could ever know.

we try to preserve our innocence,
but when we lose it
is that when life starts?
or is it actually when it ends?

i'm wasting my time
trying to become the old me.
i'm the fun one who's always smiling,
but my scars say otherwise.

i reach out for me in my reflection,
but i'm nowhere to be found.
what happened to that girl?
she was so happy.
