i like the way your eyes change
when you say my name
i miss you so much that a shadow
becomes your silhouette
i let the darkness grow until
you swallow me whole
and i’m illuminated again by
your name on my phone
can you kiss me again like the first time
or will you always taste like sweet regret?
can we change what’s yet to come
or are we forced to endure our history’s debt?
i miss your instability
the way you taught me strength to stop your shaking
i hear your haunting words in my dreams
i always wake up suffocating in sheets
i’m scared that this piece of me will always be yours
i know if i show you, you’ll take it
isn’t it so easy to say you miss me now?
when it’s been so long, it’s tempting to take it all back
i’m so much easier to love when you only see me at my best
what kind of fool am i to kiss the same hands
that only touched me to attack?
and i’ll listen to your promises, but only for tonight
indulging in the taste of feeling like i’m finally right
my heart longs for the ghost of you
i knew before, but
as time goes on it’s easier to separate who you are
from what i wanted before
i filled in your blanks and created new pieces
and just because they fit didn’t keep them from falling apart
