#peopleleave
I knew from the start you will leave just like the rest why did i expect a change? Would tears change anything? I don’t feel hot or cold should I? The love, the joy, it last for a while, but in the end it’s always me thinking about you. The seasons changed they’ll come back again, brand new. BUT It doesn’t feel the same without you. To be lost in you is nothing new to me. Though only memories remain of us. A heart beating with no soul. i want to live in the present but how can i forget the past? Time will pass from fall to spring. would you ever notice? the footsteps behind you are gone. you should have known better. you always did. The world moved on, so why am i still stuck? The water eventually stills, but it remains in the memory. It was worth every penny, and now it’s back to day one just me, waiting for none.

Still you
My Therapist said that I have abandonment issues, says that I tend to idolize the people who leave me, She says that I build shrines for those who leave, and tombs for those who stay.

Shrines For Those Who Leave
I look into the mirror Sometimes And I see your face looking back at me Your smile, your eyes, your lips I see an absence And my chest hurts Nearly 11 years now I don't know how I remember your face I don't really It's slowly slipped away Memories faded over time Darkened By anger, by pain, by sadness, by this yearning for you to be back with me You protected me as much as you could, loved me I think, made me feel cared for, worthy I know now why you but I have but one wish That you'd taken me with you That you'd take time to make me feel cared for, worthy again Come back, One day, Some day, Please, There is a hole where you once belonged
