When all I thought I had was love.
He came and slipped through my
Fingers, festering at my feet like sand
That was slowing pulling me under.

When all I had was laughter
I throw back my head
Open my mouth and
Find his words spilling out.
My own laughter wasn't even mine.

I opened my chest to replace the thing
He broke, only to find that it had never
Truly existed. He walks away in the desert
Holding my blood, dripping through his fingers
But I never seemed to have bled.

I am losing my mind.
Everything we had together
I find it written in fairytales
On parchment paper
With ****** ink.

I was listening to the other girls
When they talked of love
And I slipped and hit my head
Thinking that I had found it too
I was wrong.
