When I say the words
Come over
I never hear a positive
Yes
Or even a
Maybe
All I hear is the sound of your sigh

It breaks me everytime a little more
That I cannot
**Let
You
Go
We both look away
I walk up, look down
Pretend not to see
The gap in my chest
My heart in your hand
Casually slung over your shoulder
Like everything else
I ever gave to you.
*(and my pockets are full of empty promises)
It only takes a second to melt
To the sight of what once could have been.

Waking up is the worst part.
Emotions are like fire.
It's fun to poke the fire.
But don't mess with the flame for too long.
Because when you do, you'll get burned.
You asked me why I cared,
"Still."
I still do not know
What it is you wanted me to say.
After all,
You'd run away either way,
"Still."
There are memories between those walls
Places I put my head on your chest
My hand engulfed in yours
It may be stupid but I thought
For a while...
Maybe.
I still have weird fantaisies about you and me
I wish
You were in my emergency contacts
When I get drunk
I have your name on my lips and my silence as a price
I walk on eggshells just to keep being your friend
I wish
I could stop, but drugs are a too tough
And I don't know how to quit you.
