even nights like this seem redundant sleep escapes and once again I find myself staring at my bedroom walls trying to grasp the beauty of anything
my lips are numb against ice cold glass of something strong, yet tasteless tastes like memories, fading tastes like you but bittersweet
I close my eyes I am walking on thin sheets of ice inching forward I hear your laugh echoing, slipping away, sliding under I sink....dark....cold...engulfing I cannot breathe I've learned to love a love of suffocating brown eyes pulled me far too deep I won't make it back up for air I learned to live a love where missing you is involuntary I now think to breathe
but darling I have shaky hands you have eager eyes and darling the light begins to dim I was not ready for our demise I kept trying this love was dying darling you have eager eyes but they don't want me they want something else always wanting something else someone else someplace else not here darling were you ever here
