There's something especially painful about being in love with what you can't have,
And it's another entirely to see and not touch, when missing someone has never hurt so **** much,
To remember your lips but never feel them again,
To catch your glance but always refrain,
From admitting I'm in love with the very poison that put me down,
But if being with you meant always falling then I'd never want to touch the ground,
What we had was a moment, a couple thousand seconds at most,
But you made blood pump through my veins: you brought to life a ghost.

In your eyes I saw a promise that your soul could not keep,
I thought it was a hug until I felt the knife go deep,
I thought you were my air until I realized you were toxic,
But I was already falling and it was too late to stop it

I wanted the warmth from your lips,
But then I realized they burn

When I heard people say "it's like music to my ears", I never quite understood,
Until I heard your voice and then knew I always would

I still miss you and I'm not sure why,
Especially when it's 2am and alone in my bed I lie,
I lie physically but also mentally by trying to tell myself I don't miss you,
But you see the truth is that the day you left the sky would never seem quite as blue,
Your lips stained my skin, and oh how your gaze made me grin,
Surely feeling the way that I did was a sin,
But if loving you too much is what made you run,
Then **** you, don't come back because I'm finally done.

I miss you
but you're not what I want anymore.
