I was broken
I needed fixing
and I was wrong
to think you could
glue me back together
You accepted me
when I couldn't even look at myself
in the mirror
and that feeling rushed through my veins
like heroine
You were another one
of my many secrets,
I kept you behind my back
Eventually, I realized schemes
and lies wouldn't put out my bonfire
because it was only getting bigger
Three words...
Three words was all it took
and I was burning
But I didn't want to drag you down
with me so I ran
Then you walked away
You told me you walked away
because you didn't want me
to see you cry
but the look on your face
was painful enough
I can still see it
in the galaxies
beneath my eyelids
That's the only place you exist anymore
