I remember the way
the way you'd touch me
or the way you spoke to me
on the phone
day and night
lord do the tears stop
I think to myself
does this pain ever leave my bones
but no
I cannot think of a time I ever thought
I ever thought you'd leave
thinking my love could ever hold you down
i need to laugh at myself
now I no longer have my self love
nor your love
why did they never teach us self love in class
when everything was so much easier
I wish I never asked to grow up into this
