I know that I love you very very much But sadly I am only a grain of sand And you deserve the ocean floor And if I’m being honest I don’t know what I’m upset about But I do know that whenever I think about your eyes I want to claw my own out. And I know that I would enjoy waking up to your face for once, Instead of cold, empty sheets. And I hope that when you go to sleep in your own sheets They are wrinkled from where I used to lay And I hope all your T-shirts smell like me And I hope your shower drain is full of my hair And I hope that when you use your soap, You think about how it touched my bare skin. I know you filled up that same skin and these same bones And lungs And now I can’t tell if I’m breathing you in Or breathing you out.

What I Know and What I Hope
I know that I love you very very much But sadly I am only a grain of sand And you deserve the ocean floor And if I’m being honest I don’t know what I’m upset about But I do know that whenever I think about your eyes I want to claw my own out. And I know that I would enjoy waking up to your face for once, Instead of cold, empty sheets. And I hope that when you go to sleep in your own sheets They are wrinkled from where I used to lay And I hope all your T-shirts smell like me And I hope your shower drain is full of my hair And I hope that when you use your soap, You think about how it touched my bare skin. I know you filled up that same skin and these same bones And lungs And now I can’t tell if I’m breathing you in Or breathing you out.
