I think it's time to throw in the towel. Watch the flames get smothered out. They always said you should never reignite an old flame. We thought we were a perfect match, but darling matches burn. I think we've burnt out. I've done everything I can and I still find myself staring at your back as you walk out that door. You just keep leaving and I guess there's nothing I can do to make you stay. There's always a place in my heart for you. Whether it be the size of a crater or the size of a penny, it'll always be there. I keep a picture of you in my desk drawer. It holds all of the memories of us that I can't keep in my head anymore. They're like nails on a chalkboard. I can feel my heart wrench every time I think of you. Imagine all the boxes shoved in the back of your closet. How every single one of them holds a memory that you cannot grasp anymore. You kept my monsters at bay but now they're eating me alive.
