don't know if i like

the quiet or rush

and all that i have

is never enough


they make assumptions

on who i love most

i pace through the halls

i feel like a ghost


regret and mistrust

are all i believe

i'm haunted by him

you should know i still grieve


i still remember

all our wild fantasies

i still see his face

in line buying groceries


i tell you it's done

and that i'm over things

because i so truly love

all the songs you sing


but i can't erase

all that happened to me

i can't wipe it away

they're all scars, you see?


so i observe people

drifting out of stores at night

drink tea at the window

in the morning light


and try to make sense 

of the world i breathe

and count all of my blessings

until i feel you leave
