[D i s t r a u g h t] I couldn't answer why. My feet dragged against the wood and I turned my nails into the floorboards to escape splinters.
And I like watching your face slip into indescision, and I like the feeling that I can never be right. It makes me feel secure. Because you, you promised the world and never panned out. You promised the moon on a string and a kiss for every second of every day. You promised me I would be yours forever. But you know; (Promises are just words unless they are fufilled)
I copyrighted your smile, planting kisses along your steps like stones in your heart. You turned; gasping at my black hair and squinting into the rain. "I never told you I wanted you forever, I only said I wanted you for now." And I screamed at myself for my idiocracy, shoving safety pins through my fingernails and telling you that now didn't have to be over.
What happens now that the sunshine is gone? What do I do with all those notes, that have your name scribbles? What do I do with your hoodies, your voicemails, your texts, your promises, your empty words? Where do I place my heart now that it can't stay with you anymore?
I laugh at myself sometimes; for doing the things that I do. I believed a boy who made me smile, I fell for a word that meant nothing. Sometimes it's easier to believe in all those broken things you thought they meant. Sometimes it's easier to listen to a lie than to try and find the truth.
I just wish I had found your truth, before you slipped away.

this is my story;
What happens now that the sunshine is gone? What do I do with all those notes, that have your name scribbles? What do I do with your hoodies, your voicemails, your texts, your promises, your empty words? Where do I place my heart now that it can't stay with you anymore?
thank you for telling it
