and just like that you let us go
you let me fall
but i used to think i'd never get back up
but i'm already walking away

           and the fact that you're leaving makes me feel like i'm melting and  
           i'm just scared you'll learn to live without me

don't worry about me here rotting in my own flesh, blood from the mind staining it with angry words thought up in drunken stupors about how great we were. no no don't worry, i'll get better soon, but it's hard to get the stains out

          how many different ways do i have to say i needed you does it take
          for you to understand

do you even ******* care really? do you? i don't think you do and i just really don't appreciate that.
  
          it's amazing how much you can hate yourself but love someone just
          as strongly. i didn't know such things were possible. maybe i love
          you enough that it took away all the love i was supposed to have
          kept

the things that go bump in the night used to scare me but now it's the fading light behind your eyes

          i would be there for you at 3am if you called me enough to wake
         me up. you couldn't even take the time to text me back when i was
         falling into pieces.

the hardest part wasn't the heartbreak. i got used to that after a while. it was noticing that yours wasn't, which means it never was really fully there in the first place.

          you hear a noise outside your window. check, i dare you. he won't
          be there.

i'm burning from the inside out and i wonder if you'll be able to see my skin charring from underneath

           you poisoned my body more than any drug could have
but i don't hate you, it's exactly the opposite
