I always wish
That I knew
That the last day
Was the last day.

So I could've hugged you
Just a little tighter

Kissed you a little harder

Said I loved you a little more

And held on just a little longer.

I remember how I felt when I first looked into your eyes,
my god I couldn't ******* breathe.
I remember when I first saw you as you were walking up to my truck,
my god you were so ******* beautiful.
I remember the butterflies in my stomach when you grabbed my hand,
my god I was so ******* nervous.
I remember how I couldn't stop smiling when we first kissed,
my god you put the ******* sun to shame.
I remember when you told me it was over,
my god I felt like ******* death.
I remember the butterflies stopped flying when I saw you for the last time,
my god you were still so ******* beautiful.
I still love you
I say goodbye
And tears fill my eyes

I mean it this time
You have to pay for your crime

You broke me
There's no more "we"

I can't turn around now
I don't know how

I held on for so long
But now it's all wrong

You have to leave me be
So the demons can set me free
Yes, I wanted you
But really,
I needed you more
In light of not falling asleep
they said
this and that
about you
and
i know
it's not true
for i know
who you are
even though
it's not true
it hurts
deep within
my heart
and
i realized
i still love you
I walked away

I burnt us to the ground

and salted the earth

for good measure.

I did it gladly

and it brings me a smile to know

you haven’t moved on...

the way your scent lingers on my pillow

or will rise from the shower

with the steam.

You really should get over me, dear

it isn’t healthy to keep coming back

every morning when I awake

to find I’ve set out two cups...

Surely the neighbors will talk,

if you keep lurking in

the corners of my flat

wasting your time pining

for what is no longer yours,

leaving little hints

that remind me I once loved you.

I think it’s time you stopped.
