you added me to your life
but subtracted yourself from me.

we multiplied our love
but you divided it between me and her.

our force grew less and less
because our acceleration died.

newton's laws no longer applied to us
because we became unequal opposite reactions
to each other.
math and physics people will understand

i think
we're
all
sanely
insane
somewhere
deep
within
us.

i try to rip the part of my heart
that's rotten and cold
it's strange to feel
it just doesn't feel like me.

if i try breaking broken away
from me and you
we're both still broken
no matter what we do.

look at us look at us
look at what we've become
broken statues imitating
ancient statues falling apart

walk the road
laid out for you
with words as a guide.

a book is your map
and let shadows fall
behind you completely.

it'll be difficult,
never easy even if you tried
but it's a road laid out for you

you've got a destination
maybe you don't know it yet
maybe your plans've been messed up

but when there's a bigger plan at work here
secondary plans aren't needed

that you could come back to me

that your love could warm my frozen heart again

that you hug me with tender touches of moonlight

i wish and i wish and i wish

that i could have you back

flower petals
seem to travel
on the wings of birds
on the outstretched arms
of the wind
fluttering like eyelashes
like the rustling leaves
of dying trees
down to the ground
at your feet
if only
i could get to you
just a little faster

people tell me to be bitter
you broke me after all
but is it bad that all i can do is smile?
you're finally laughing and i'm happy
even if i was never a part
of the happy ending
