You & Him

There's only been two people who've ever taken my heart, You and Him,

and maybe that's why I hear two people, You and Him, in music,

I hate listening to the radio, because You're in every other song,

and He's in the other half, haunting, one's alive and one's dead, but still haunting,

I let You go, and I thought I'd get over you like the others,

He left in the worst of ways, and I never got to say goodbye,

You made me a playlist of love songs that I still have on my phone,

I know all of His favorite songs, every single one,

I still listen to Your playlist every now and then,

I still listen to all of His songs, and I can hear Him singing,

You liked old love songs and a little indie,

He liked rock and punk and the blues,

And now, I just listen to Your songs and His songs,

because they're almost all I have left,

so I laugh, and cry, and smile, and shake,

and cuss, and yell, and my eyes either go bright or dark,

when I hear Your songs and His songs,

and I can only hope that You aren't as haunted by me,

as I am by You,

and I still love Him, but He can never love me back now,

so He lives on in a corner of my mind,

and You live in a side of my heart,

and I'm down on my knees, because it's the last place to fall,

while the radio sings a sad song,

haunting me.
