Does it burn you up inside when you see my name?
Do you ever lie awake at night with a hollow feeling in your chest?
We are pieces that belong to different puzzles.
We don't fit.
If we weren't meant to be, why does it feel so lonely without you?
I can't look at you without feeling a twinge of sadness.
I can't hear your name spoken without feeling startled.
You were once a fire that raged in my heart
The fire was too wild
and that was the danger, wasn't it?
I fell in too deep and lost my mind.
I'd like to blame it all on you
But it's my fault, really.
I knew you were trouble from the beginning,
so why did i give in to the deep depths of your brown eyes?
I tell people that you drowned me in your messy love,
but if i'm honest
i knew what i was getting in to.
I knew it was suicide
to go all in
and give you an all-access pass to my fragile heart,
and i did it anyways.
