#outmoded
Do you feel better now? Lying in bed alone? Saying *"I miss you, please answer the phone." "It's been awhile." "Maybe we can work this out."* No. I find myself crawling back to you. We were friends,we had it good. But, you broke your promises. I drop the phone and cry outmoded tears on you. On us. But all this time, you've forgotten. That I was the one who lost everything. And it only hurts when I breathe. Heartbreaking goodbyes, over and over again. It only hurts when I breathe. Six flights back to where we started. To prove to you this isn't over. To find out that I'm the other one. I thought I deserved better than being a choice. I guess not.
