i think about you more than i want to admit
and i don't tell anyone
because i know what they would say

i almost wish you would have taken the last pieces of my heart behind and crushed them like the others
because it's more painful to rebuild than to start from scratch
the broken pieces poke and tear against the walls of my chest
until i know for sure
that your absence wasn't just inconvenient

it almost destroyed me from the inside out
