I don't know who I am
Anymore
Or if I do
I don't want to be her anymore

I don't know who I want to be
Or maybe I'm already who I dreaded to become
I don't know who I am
Tori Sep 2013
Don't let her leave when she's lying next to you
Softly and sweetly; listening to your every breath

When she's ready to stumble out of the back door
Her pride weighing her down
And her shoes in her hand
Don't let her go

As she's sorting through the pile of clothes on the floor
Searching for her favorite sweatshirt
Glancing back to see you're still asleep
Don't let her leave

When she starts yelling and throwing things
Don't let her go
She says she can't take it anymore and needs time on her own
You grab her and never let her go

Don't let her wash you out of her hair
Or your taste from her lips
Or your scent lingering on her soft skin

When she runs from your sight
And screams she hates you
Don't let her leave

Run your fingers through her hair
Kiss her cheek softly
When you know she can't leave without you
Don't let her go

You remind me of the wind
You come and go as you please
You make me feel beautiful and weightless
Yet so cold and numb
You don't have to speak any words
You move in a way that gets me
You knock me off my feet
You're gone in the blink of an eye; leaving me
Yearning for that comforting touch

I see this girl every once in a while
She never seems recognizable
I know her from somewhere
But I just can't put my finger on it
Her bright smile is deceiving
Her mind fights her everyday
As the mirror screams lies at her
Cold skin, hip bones, and long hair
She longs to see the sunlight shine through her thighs

The digital devil that lies on the floor
As she slips her fingers down her throat
She purges the fear that haunts her once more
I hope this makes sense. Not sure if it's finished.

You are a country drive with the windows down
Always remembered and never forgotten
You are a warm bed on a cold morning
You are a walk through the park
Sight seeing in the city
You are sweet chocolate on a bitter day
You are Nicholas Sparks' movies and handwritten letters
Hot tea and warm blankets on a fall night
You are the catchy melody to my favorite song
A big breakfast right as the sun comes up
You are Florida sunrises and Indiana sunsets
You are everything perfect.

You still cross my mind
From time to time
And I mostly smile

I want to go back
To that love I felt
To the person I was
To your warming embrace
But that's just a foolish thought

I remember all the small things
The way you'd gaze into my eyes
Before whispering to my lips

How gently you'd slide your fingers
In-between mine when we'd go on walks
Oh the butterflies

You're something I'll never get back
And something I'll never forget
It's been a while now
But I still miss you
Twenty-one weeks.

Those words still haunt me
How far back do you remember?
Three words you left me with
Floating with one meaning
Did you mean every word?
I was just a bump in the road
And here you left me stranded
Three words you left me with
They still linger in my head
How much do you remember?
I can't seem to forget
How do I still feel him?
