I bite my tongue
Trying my best to ignore
How empty my soul grew
The day you walked out
And how I've spent
Countless days
Weeks
Years
Attempting to live
Without your breath
Intertwined with mine
And I hate to tell you
But I'm doing an awful job
Of moving on
I can still feel your eyes
Burning through my
Rarely exposed skin
Can still trace
The outline of your hand
Tangled up with mine

An unhealthy obsession
With your ****** coated heart
******* pupils
THC blood
It seemed you were addicted
To everything but me

And I swore I could save you
I could change you
Together we could
Heal each other
And truth be told
I don't think you wanted me
To reach out to you
And truth be told
I'm still waiting
For you to turn around
And rescue me

Years later
I'm stagnant
Praying for you to finally
Wake up and realize
I am here
I always have been
And I always will be
Here.

They say true love never dies
I need you to prove them right.
