Faulty Wiring
by @jacquelyn-audrey-whiston
I just feel empty,
But it's familiar.
I'm the one at fault
Out of your life,
Catapulted.
What I would change if I could go back,
A little less lust,
A lot more respect
But there are no more chances
No take-backs.
I'll never forget hearing you cry like that.
I'll never forget the way you you smiled.
I'll never forget you saying you hate me.
You'll move on,
Find someone to love you better,
I want, no, need you to.
One of us needs to make it out alive.
One of us must survive.
We were just caught under bad circumstance
I reassure myself
If it were a few years later
Maybe it would have been better
No promise, unbroken
No lies, spoken
No feelings, hidden
No lives, shaken
But it wasn't a few years later
What we had was now
What we had was broken
What we had was tragic
Under my faulted lips,
I gave into yours.
Under my faulted smile,
I lied about what I did.
Under my faulted hands,
I held you like it would be okay.
Under my faulted heart,
Yours was broken.
