I found myself sitting in bed
Staring off into the past
All I hear is white noise
I didn't realize how many marks we made in this world, but now I see them so clear
I've been chasing your ghost through every memory we've made the last few years
I always hoped to find you at the end
Just to realize I am the ghost
I'm the one living in the past
I'm the on trapped here
Maybe I was meant to be a ghost in your life
I miss you
I'll stay trapped here just to see your smile and hear that laugh
It's haunting but,
It'll always be worth the pain
Now I know why sometimes ghosts can't leave
They're afraid, just like me

“I hate you,” she said
Those words burned through me like a forest fire.
It was a gunshot right to the heart.
Not even my bulletproof vest could stop it.
Those words were worse than anything I have ever heard, any name I’ve ever been called, and any bone I’ve ever broken.
To be the reason for the pain behind her hatred was the final blow.
It broke me. It peeled back any shell I had as protection.
Killed me.
I understood her pain.
Those words haunt me in my dreams.
Seared my ears on the way in and scarred my heart when they hit.
I just sat there wiping away tears
This can’t be real.
I would give my own heart to fix it. I would give her my life to stop that pain.
I hate me too.
That’s what got me here in the first place.

Everyone has demons
My demons turned me against you
Whispering in my ear
My only weakness
Losing you
I promised I'd keep you safe
I failed
Ive become a demon for you now
I wanted to be an angel for you
A guardian to keep you safe,
But even Satan used to be an angel

I became the darkness I worked in
I was supposed to be the light
So isolated and alone
All I had were the insecurities
Waiting for me in the dark
Saw the worst in people, it affected me
I didn't think there was any hope in this world
The only hope I had was you
You started to fade into the darkness too
How can I be the light for you when I live in darkness?

“I have no ties here” she said
That statement tied a noose around my heart.
“No ties?” I thought.
I thought I was a tie to be here
I thought I was a tie to stay
I thought I was a tie to so many memories
The words wrapped around my neck. Constricting the oxygen to my brain.
The ties I had to you seemed to be fraying.
I saw my visions of the future that I held so dear unraveling from those very words.
I couldn’t fight off the thoughts of you cutting ties with me.
She was tied up herself. She was a tangled mess of pain, fears, wants and dreams.
But all I ever wanted to do was sit down and untie those knots.
And unravel that beautiful mind.
All while hoping I could intertwine a connection together forever.
The words that echoed in my head tied themselves around my heart.
They slowly hung my heart out to dry.
I wanted to tie the knot with her.
I wanted to stitch our hearts together forever.
She was my anchor.
She was my tie.
But I guess some knots that are tied come loose.
“I have no ties here”
But my heart will always be tied to her.
