Memories in my head

I look at the image of your face on my phone

more often then I should

I wonder why you leave with the swiftest ease

You were/are broken pretty bad

 

I can't help noticing how selfish I am

sometimes

I wonder when you think of me

I wonder when/if you'll care

 

I drink in excess

I'm broken myself

My brake makes me a coward

I hope you will forgive me

 

If/When you leave I'll cry

I'll curse myself, I'll die

in forty years

Because when the time comes I'll

replay every time you told me how you

felt, And I won't stop your leaving

or even try, until you've left and it's too late

And I'll be a huge cliché, just as you told me I was

 

But until then, I'll piece you together

next to the memories in my head
