I think sometimes love can be so powerful
That we have to become numb to it
Because if we let it consume us
It might just **** us

The day I fell in love with you
Is the day I lost myself
I lost my sanity, I put my heart on a shelf
For you to take all for yourself
Your happiness replaced my own mental health

Now you’re gone, and I don’t know how to live
Maybe that’s why the rain suddenly feels colder on my skin
Maybe that’s why I pushed away all of my family and my friends
I just, I don’t know where to begin or where to end
You came in and you saved me, then you left and I’m broken again

I’ve been picking shattered glass out of my lungs for weeks,
Because when you told me you lost your love for me,
My heart exploded on scene
Your name burns my throat more than Hennessy
I want to get drunk from the whiskey on your breath,
But the only thing that I taste is stale Bacardi

I stopped looking both ways when crossing the street
I don’t care if I meet my daily needs
I am drowning in my tears, my scars plain to see
But no matter what I do
I can’t destroy myself more than you have destroyed me

My love for you is too strong,
Without you I don’t think I can go on
I hear you in every sad song
I see you everywhere, even though I haven’t seen you in so long
I need to know where I went wrong
I’m sorry, I’m so sorry but you took away my sun

If I let you consume me,
Anymore than you already have consumed my life
Then I will have to start giving out goodbyes,
Because without you, I might just die

My eyes didn’t become blue on their own.
You wouldn’t think they were quite as pretty
If you’ve seen every single thing they know.
Yes, my blue eyes have seen the greatest days,
but they have also seen blood and way too many graves.
My eyes are often glossy, like glass that may shatter
You think they look like ice, is appearance all that matters?
My eyes have seen true love, my eyes have seen you at your best
But have you looked deeply into them, can you see the memory of death?
My eyes are like an ocean, hypnotically blue and alluring,
but don’t let their appearance deceive you- for there may be demons lurking
