If I cried you a tear,
would you watch it fall,
would it write your name
in hews of black,
black like my heart since the day I left,
for we destroyed those rocks of old,
where we carved our vows in letters so bold,
such precious things have we let go,
into the realms of the waters so deep,
lost in the tides of the tears I weep,
your heart I hold in these withered hands,
fragile, protected and safe in their grasp,
for you my love I shall forever remain
locked in the sound of this sad refrain.
I've learned over the past seven years
That destiny is just a pill
Shaped to go down easy
Flavored to taste sweet at first
Yet poisoned to **** you slowly

There's no escaping the aftermath
When you pray for safer waters
When you reach for outstretched hands
Yet no one's there
Except a ghost without a grip

I can't erase what's been created
Only toss dirt on an already-filthy heart
Stained forever by her apathy
And destroyed by no great tragedy
Just slow, and bitter, bleeding
Caused by her fading scent
for someone who was never
meant for this world,
I must confess
I'm suddenly having a
hard time leaving it.

of course they say
every atom in our bodies
was once part of a star.

maybe I'm not leaving.
maybe I'm going home.
