Our love was made for movie screens
    i miss your arms around me and the fights over what movie to watch next. if we were a movie, we'd be the bestseller that broke the nation, destroyed like you.
But if you loved me
    i haven't gotten out of bed since you left last week but how could i? i can't even walk to the bathroom without seeing your things spread out across the counter. i always used to yell at you for leaving your cologne on the counter and now it's sitting neatly on the shelf. i wish you hadn't put it there. i wish you could hold my waist and laugh at me while i yelled at you for the little things.
why'd you leave me?
    your family gave me compliments on how well i've been holding up since you left. i don't think they know that i threw every picture of us together into a box and shoved the box under the stairs. i don't think they know i woke up on your side of the bed with a bottle of whiskey in my hand.
Take my body*
    why did you leave me like this? i'm sitting in the first row and everyone around me is sniffling and i'm sitting here, numb. is this how you felt? i'm so sorry. the preacher asked me to say a few words about you but when i stood up i couldn't think of anything. you left me emptier than the bottle of pills you took before i found you.
