zero

I would have done my homework

but my tears would run the ink

I would have done my homework

but my hands burned from having no one to hold

I would have done my homework

but me+you was done and you did not equal forever anymore

I would have gone to school that day

but my body ached with emptiness since you left

I would have gone to school that day

but I couldn't find a reason to leave my bed if I could not see you again

I would have gone to school that day

but I didn't learn a ****** thing besides to never trust a soul

I would have called my bestfriend back

but when it rang, I'd hoped it was you

I would have called my bestfriend back

but to her, heartbreak is nothing new

I would have called my bestfriend back

but there was nothing she could do

I swear, I'll be this sad forever, and I've been this long before

I'm out of strength to pull myself off of this bathroom floor

-a.f.
