I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse? I knew it was coming So why didn't I do something? It was like the little boy Who cried wolf Except there is no Little boy Or Wolf Just you and me And you went your own way So now I'm here Broke in love I was gambling I thought it was a good risk Silly me, I bet it all I gave you all I had And now I'm left with none Nothing I feel empty Like I'm hollow Dying on the inside Every second I'm alone I'm one second closer to dying Because now, thanks to you, I am my own poison I cry all night Telling myself things No one should ever hear Destroying myself Burning brighter than the sun Only to burn out and ruin it all To become a monster After something thought beautiful I never wanted to lose you No, not yet But you left me So now here I am Laying here alone Literally shivering in fear Crying silently in the night And all because I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse?

My apocalypse
I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse? I knew it was coming So why didn't I do something? It was like the little boy Who cried wolf Except there is no Little boy Or Wolf Just you and me And you went your own way So now I'm here Broke in love I was gambling I thought it was a good risk Silly me, I bet it all I gave you all I had And now I'm left with none Nothing I feel empty Like I'm hollow Dying on the inside Every second I'm alone I'm one second closer to dying Because now, thanks to you, I am my own poison I cry all night Telling myself things No one should ever hear Destroying myself Burning brighter than the sun Only to burn out and ruin it all To become a monster After something thought beautiful I never wanted to lose you No, not yet But you left me So now here I am Laying here alone Literally shivering in fear Crying silently in the night And all because I wasn't ready I didn't want it to end But isn't that what anyone would say After their own apocalypse?
Is it crazy? That I still want you? Even after feeling like this?
