The people you love become ghosts inside of you
That's how you keep them alive
So they told me
You had already left and I felt empty
Felt empty for so long

The day came where I was starting to feel whole again
I woke up with an ache in my chest
It felt good to be reminded I have a heart
The heart you broke

The feeling was good, fullness
They always tell you to be full
Full of life
Full of love
But being full of those you love, exhausting
Painful

When I looked in the mirror I could see myself, faintly
You were too distracting
I could see your soul banging on the inside my rib cage
Begging to come out
Earning for something more
Someone who wasn't me
I wanted you to break free
Break through me

I didn't want to feel the pain anymore
You had broke me once
Why not again
Why not just death by a soul
Death by a ghost who I love and no longer loves me
Death by love
Death by love is real

Death is our destiny
Death is what we're living to achieve
Death will sneak up on you
Be it a person
A soul
Death will find you and finish you whole
