It’s just you and me now.
They say that time heals
But they don’t know a thing.
Time doesn’t heal
It’s a core with a string.
They say time brings acceptance.
Again, they are wrong.
I don’t accept it.
But who cares, cause I’m strong.
The strain on my heart
Like a push and a pull.
Tied up in knots
The lemonade’s still full.
Rubber bands everywhere
Looks sloppy, people stare.
Your music still plays.
Too lazy to care.
The strands of my hair
Still lying on your floor.
There won’t be a next time.
It’s a four-sided door.
The chill is still shakey
The night is still blue
Part of me’s aching.
I wish that you knew.
This hole feels so empty
When darkness comes near.
Living without you.
Sad, but no tears.
I try not to show it.
The silence picks a fight.
Forget you, forget you
My silence, my light.
Roads are so long now.
They’re actually quite short.
Quiet and deserted
Memories abort.
Clawing to breathe.
Grasping for air.
I know and you know
The love is still there.
Blurry with visions.
My head’s on a cloud.
Lying here naked
Embracing this crowd.
Crawling back to me
Cause you fell and you fell.
Empty but warm there
The linger of my smell.
I knew you’d be waiting
Like December in the rain.
I’d knew you’d come to me
But you left me in pain.
The time is now here.
But really it’s gone.
It doesn’t exist now.
Go on, but be strong.
Don’t cry cause you miss me.
Don’t cry cause you care.
Your tears are so empty
Selfish in despair.
Your words have new meaning
Fire and destroy.
Starting all over
A girl and a boy.
