it all started with a "hey" now, isn't that always the story you looked at me like I'm the only thing that mattered in this chaos of a world we wanted to escape

the hardest part of it all isn't re-opening these wounds but telling myself another story of how I got these scars we lived in different realities and I lived in one where we didn't exist
i was a drug that got you off the arms that suffocate you i was a book that you wrote but never actually read i was the cigarette that met your lying lips your salvation with every breath until you were done, and i got stepped on until i was the one who couldn't breathe
and i still can't fucking breathe but i'm trying
