I never thought I'd miss you this much.

I'm not allowed to miss you this much.
You're the name I'm whispering in my drunken state

I'm the name you're remembering when she's fast asleep

We call out to each other
Hoping that the universe will deliver the message
But it feels something's standing in the way
And I'm just calling out to empty space

Like I once held you

And while I wept over the loss of you
A smile broke through my tears for all that my poetry had to gain
Oh honey,
Don't you know?
I loved him first
And your lips are simply acting as an eraser on sharpied words

He'll always taste me
He loved me first
The way you're trying to erase me
Only tells me
That you're still utterly terrified
At how much you love me
They tell me that she's dumb
They tell me I'm much prettier
I spew hateful words about a girl I've never met
And a boy a I used to love

But the truth is
None of it makes me feel any better
Because it doesn't bring you back
It will never make you mine again
Her broken heart fell into a slumber
Her body never wanted to wake it up from
