All this "love"
Is crushing me

thinking about the way we used to be
and then looking at your face
its like
shoving cotton into an open wound
it's soft
but it hurts
you're so happy
without me
and i don't know why i act like it's my fault
i know it's not
but
i can't help but feel
that i wasn't good enough for you
i miss you
i really do

And I love you when I’m sober and aching for your touch.
And I love you when I’m drunk and out of my self made funk.
And I love you when I’m swirling my hair on the shower wall and even the nights when my knees shake and I’m ready to fall.
And I could list the ways I love you until there’s no more air and I will love you as you push back my hair.
And I was made to love you, oh how I’m ******* sure.
I was made to love you even though you now love her.

The way you shine through my windows panes in the night.
It feels like you missed me and needed me.
I feel your warm hugs that got me out of my bed.
Calling me out to play underneath the night sky.

Can your gentle breeze heal these wounds?
Can it blow away the pain I've endured?
I looked up to the sky, it's dark blue.
Keep this a secret, I trust you.

I wish nights like this lasts even longer than daytime.
Spending the night with you brightens me.
If this moment could last forever,
I won't go back to a long period of slumber.

so when they tell me i'm pretty
i'd lie
i just don't see the beauty
that lies in mine

her heart was filled with rocks
stones of many kinds
a heart so very heavy
she was running out of time
she needed his love
she needed it now
her heart was so heavy
it weighed her down
it hurt to walk
it hurt to breathe
she still had
things to see
she loved his eyes
and his lovely dark hair
whenever she saw him
she couldn't help but stare
her lips ached
they ached for him
a taste of his love
a taste of his skin
she was so weighed down
she knew she'd drown
in pretty blue eyes
and locks of dark brown
she couldn't help
but obsess over him
such little time
lights growing dim
i need you
