I'd always been a goody two shoes
Till the day you came along
Because while I abhorred out of the ordinary
You were all about the fun
You introduced me to myself,
A side I never knew
And I felt invincible
Whenever it was just us two
And I decided these memories
Were the ones I'd always keep
But all good things must end
Even happy eyes do weep
And that's when the summer came
And it became too hot
And all of that invincibility,
Like us, began to rot
You still check in on me
In hopes that I'll run back
But I've suffocated that part of me
All there is, is jet black
And I think of you consistently
Constantly, deeply, all the time
Failing to remember that even though
You're scorched in my brain
I'm never on your mind
And they say what doesn't ****
Ends up making you stronger
So one day I will have been reborn
To last a little bit longer.
