"you were a parade of red flags but I screamed colour blind from the rooftops.
you see,
scarlet is the colour of both love and betrayal."

i wanna watch over you
if that's okay
when's the last time you drank water
have you eaten today
you don't deserve
to feel so sick everyday
even when you're miserable
don't bury yourself in hate

you shouldn't need to brace
against your own fists
don't owe me anything
i'm here because i wanted this
you did do something today
you lived
and for me
thats the best gift you could give

and now i only see you
in my memories and dreams
i know winter months are coldest
but late december really stings
frost bitten
not by weather but by temperature of shoulder
it is over
it is over
it is over

she always smelled like oranges
now i stay away from citrus
distance is
tough
but you see trust
is miles away

Alcohol is the embrace I lack tonight
Warming my skin
Calming my nerves
Soothing my soul
As I forget my loneliness
(Which makes itself more apparent as of late)
A little peace
For a little while
Just lull me to sleep
In your sweet, easy comfort
