Take me back
take me back to when i didn't know you
to a time when i was fragile, but not broken
crying but not slowly withering away
when my tears weren't enough to drown me
when my heart didn't feel as hollow
when my dreams couldn't trap me
when roses didn't remind me of blood and betrayal
when i was immune to all the memories
when every single song couldn't convince me that we were oh so obviously meant to be
when dying didn't feel as easy
but now look at what i've been reduced to
a phantom in the wind
hoping for the one thing i wished would never happen
the fact that i loved you
feels like poison
paralyzing me and leaving me with nothing but an echo of what could've been
