I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Loving you was never sweet like the taste of vanilla the way I thought it was supposed to be It was more like
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
