i watched flowers grow wildly
but it was all inside of my head

i said,
i could feel my heart breaking,
it was aching for months

he said,
love is just a chemical reaction,
it is all in your head

and suddenly i felt my heart
falling to pieces
all over again

it is only right
if it feels like you're floating;
don't you go falling

for how long will
you remain your own
murderer
because you are too
afraid
to set yourself free,
to let yourself
be vulnerable,
be
breakable?

for how long will
you continue to tolerate
the dimming
light
within your eyes,
the dust falling from
your heart
because you just
won't
let love in?

i saw flowers in the sky
as stars were falling to the ground
this life without you
upside down

and you can scream
from the top of your lungs;
your echo won't sound

what was overshadowing noise
has now become silence

I still hear your voice, crying through the night
It echos in my head, saying 'I won't let go'
And the walls in my room creak with every tear
that falls from my cheek to my lips, tasting salty
Like the final kiss you placed so indifferently on me
while my heart was screaming 'please don't go',
words that my mouth was never able to tell
And now the night shares the story of us again,
so I listen foolishly to keep you a little closer,
for the promise you could never keep
was the one that made you stay
