i woke up with a pain in my chest
the trials and tribulations of last night
worn like a scar on my arm
freshly sliced and roughly stitched

i woke up with a pain in my chest
the soft curves of your lips
against the hard lines of your jaw
the only thing i could focus on
when my eyes closed slightly

i woke up with a pain in my chest
when i cough
and my voice is hoarse from the screams
words of malice slicing through the air
and calling after you once you walked

i woke up with a pain in my chest
because you ripped through it
when you shut that door

i woke up with a pain in my chest
because you are no longer mine
