I have said your name a thousand times in the empty belly of my apartment. My heart puked love on your wicked soul until it dried out and had nothing left.
Forgive my heart for never having the courage to walk away from you
But I could never fill all those empty voids or mend those shattered dreams
My skin could barely keep you inside..
But see..
I shifted my bones to make room for your insecurities and keep them warm until I could make you realize you have nothing to be insecure about
Your sighs held me together like an anchor
Your soul was the incomplete pages within my diary
I blame you
I blame you for my fingers stuttering everytime I write love
For my broken ribcage, from all those butterflies you gave me
For letting me drown within the depths of my own soul
For messing with my heart whenever it got back up its crutches.
I blame you
For these voids within me

For my broken ribcage, from all those butterflies you gave me
For letting me drown within the depths of my own soul
For messing with my heart whenever it got back up its crutches.
I blame you
For these voids within me
