you say you need to find yourself as if you haven't been standing next to me this entire time. you were always a little uncertain.. falling away like the paint that peels off fences on a hot summer day. how do you tell someone that you've been feeling like a broken hinge for quite some time and everything has been hanging awkwardly when you aren't together.  i never thought anyone could tilt my world the same way you did. you said you'd give me sunrises and all i gave you were half attempt excuses for life and broken shells that crumble under my own feet. I know nothing ever lasts but i wonder if the beach ever misses the sand that gets lost in my shoe because sometimes i feel like people have been taking pieces of you your whole entire life. a souvenir is not someones soul, stop parading their uncertainty with big edgy smiles. find yourself so that when someone finds you, you'll know exactly what pieces to give away. start putting yourself together or someday someone will walk through your door and shape you into something you hoped you'd never become.
