Dear ex lover, I see you everywhere Your name etched on the insides of my life everywhere I look there are traces of you Dear ex lover, I hope you are well The angel that you are took me, a broken thing bruises and all plucked me from hesperides and brought me back to the land of the living Just to hold me close and whisper all the good into my ear Dear ex lover, I know that on the surface I was silver and strong but the devil never liked a quiter and those demon's arms have a long reach Dear ex lover, I used to love the grocery store Linoleum and fluorescents The way you moved so effortlessly Dear ex lover, I used to love the grocery store But my aisles are filled with ghosts and my pantry is a tomb Dear ex lover, I know I hurt you My decisions were not the best ones This body has felt so heavy for so long and these demons scratch at my skull Dear ex lover, I hope you are well I hope you laugh I hope your belly is full and you have a warm bed to come home to Dear ex lover, I wish you well always
