The things you can make yourself believe...

I think I figured this out.

 

And I think I could be happy without you

Maybe your mouth

isn't so sweet,

or your eyes so warm

Maybe I don't crave you like

the chocolate I crave since you've gone

And maybe I could go a day without thinking

about how your hand would feel in mine

And maybe the way you believe and think

could just once fail to make my insides

**** and fly into a fine-tuned frenzy

 

I think I could be okay.

 

And leave you.

You're not my cover story,

my hard binding protecting

the soft, pink, veiny insides.

You've had a good place for a heart's age

But it's long past time.

 

Time for you to get out of the ******* way.
