My days continue slowly.
I waste them with fake smiles and dead eyes.
Thinking of you, I try not to break
It becomes so hard to breath, my lungs collapse
I feel myself breaking, As I tear myself into pieces.
My heart is breaking.
I'll smile and laugh
but those emotions won't mean anything.
Remembering days that cannot be relived.
Promises and hopes that can never return.
All I'd give for you to come back.
I said I was sorry, it was never good enough
I walk through feilds of flowers
Watching as they slowly wilt.
Tears leak from my eyes, from unknown reasons
My days continue slowly
As i slowly lose track of time.
I remember your pretty face.
I'll cry and cry, but you'll never come back
I'll tell your story for those to hear.
Hating myself for remembering
I'll erase everthing that reminded me of you.
The most precious memories will start to fade
But i could not give you up, your all I have left.
And I'll keep the picture of you, close to my heart
I watched as you died
I shed a tear for each lie.
I never believed any of your promises
Each day I slowly distanced myself
Until I made a shallow mistake, and accidently
Let go.
Author notes
The ending has to do with when I said I hated her, she promised me something and I knew it was a lie. I told her I hated her and never wanted to love her.
She died shortly after and I've hated myself since.
