Cracked ****** lips plastered to the street I'm kissing the pavement of our old avenue Whispering to the pebbles, tracing the path of our feet Biting my tongue once more, just to get a taste of you I'd say that I've cut my heart open again, But I wouldn't want to bore you with my poetic cliché If you must know, I'm draining myself through this pen And my lungs still carry that eighty-year-old ache Broken bones crushed and swept under the rug I shattered in your arms the night you turned away Collapsed my own sanity, you disappeared with a shrug Even my monsters had nothing condescending left to say I'd tell you that I missed you, but that would be a petty lie I only miss the part of myself that you so effortlessly stole Consider this your thank you note, our delicate goodbye I hope you're content, and thank you again for this huge ******* hole.

A Thank You Note
Cracked ****** lips plastered to the street I'm kissing the pavement of our old avenue Whispering to the pebbles, tracing the path of our feet Biting my tongue once more, just to get a taste of you I'd say that I've cut my heart open again, But I wouldn't want to bore you with my poetic cliché If you must know, I'm draining myself through this pen And my lungs still carry that eighty-year-old ache Broken bones crushed and swept under the rug I shattered in your arms the night you turned away Collapsed my own sanity, you disappeared with a shrug Even my monsters had nothing condescending left to say I'd tell you that I missed you, but that would be a petty lie I only miss the part of myself that you so effortlessly stole Consider this your thank you note, our delicate goodbye I hope you're content, and thank you again for this huge ******* hole.
