Lyrics slipped off her tongue like honey,
Soothing me.
The song, a constant battle of the girl she was before and who she is now.
A letter is written into lyrics of Messages from her,
Lost beneath the tidal wave of life.
Losing a piece of herself while trying to let the world see her.
Reminds me of myself,
Trying to constantly breathe life into the dead girl from before,
While suffocating the one I am now.
I feel the need to share a broken part of myself with someone,
Like she did.
The fear that it will shatter in a doubters hand makes me cower,
I long for a message from her.
One last sentence,
A word.
To tell me she’s gone,
That the grasp I had on her hand for so long
Has vanished.
That there is no part of her that lives in the girl I am now.
To comfort me in the loss of myself that I felt
While losing her.
