departure

i feel like an unfinished painting.

like an outline, waiting to be colored.

i have so much more to do here,

so many footsteps to leave before i'm gone.

all i want is to carve my name on your heart,

let it stay there, so you dont forget me once ive gone.

take this picture, staple it to everything you touch,

maybe if i know you miss me i wont miss you all that much.

 

i know this is going to be the hardest thing ive ever had to do. to turn away from you.

i can still feel the words dancing on my lips, your hands resting in my fingertips, oh it's to sweet to let go now.

 

i love the way the color of your eyes changes,

and every time, i know i love you simply because i have noticed.

i can;t just sit here in my skin, and pretend this isn't what it really is.

 

i don't want to see you again.

i just feel a pain in my chest

when i think of your smile, your laugh,

all it does is leave me restless again
