dancing at 1 am
to songs with a good beat
and sad words
is no longer enough to cover it all.
crap.
...
i should have known when you said
"i can't imagine anyone loving you more than i do."
and my heart whispered,
"i can."
...
"i want to give you the world"
i would have been happy with just a
nook for two.
- i must have asked for too much? i feel hollow and words aren't coming easily at the moment but emotions are.
...
my eyes have been lifeless for a while now.
you can no longer tell how much i love you just by looking at them.
just how much i ache over you.
...
i don't think i'll ever stop crying
over the fact you decided
i am no longer worth knowing.
and now,
i'm trapped
feeling like i must live in a way that proves
he's missing out.
- i don't know that you are.
...
i say your name at night
out of choice
and not necessity,
it is one privilege you have not lost.
i see no end to
your name rolling off my lips
and i. don't. mind.
...
if i could use only one word to sum up your next love:
i'd choose
dissatisfied.
on
all
fronts.
i am confident in this one area,
i have ruined you
and your ability to transmit what is reserved for the darkest of nights.
i have ruined you
and she will know it.
