knowing you're 8 hours away doesn't fill the piece of my heart you took with you
it doesn't remove the guilt from the bottom of my gut
and it doesn't take away the empty tissue boxes next to my bed
knowing i found someone new doesn't make me feel better about you gulping back cheap alcohol
and kissing someone else's cheeks
knowing that i could take my life any second and remove all of the pain that demands to be felt
doesn't make me stop wondering if you'd
even miss me at all
or want to hear the sound of my voice again
or sit in silence while we watch the night sky
as if all of those stars
were equal to the butterflies in my chest
