You used to be my best friend
I could never get enough
I used to want more from you
I loved you so much

I wanted to belong to you
I wanted you to belong to me
But ever since we tried that
I can't even think clearly

My life is such a mess
I've never felt more alone
You make me feel so sad
And like I have no one

The pain seeps from my pores
The tears escape from my eyes
In the night, I have nightmares
In which our love always dies

This does more harm than good
I don't know what to do
I really don't want to lose you
But my heart is literally torn in two

You are not my lover
You are no longer my best friend
I don't want to believe it
But this is most likely the end

I've never felt such anguish
I've never sensed so much discomfort
I will never win this war
Despite all of my efforts

I don't want to say goodbye
But it is inevitable now
I want to be free from this toxicity
I've given all my heart will allow
Something from the heart. Something I wrote in the moment. My heart is breaking.
