You've made so many promises
You can't keep them when you leave
Though I try to banish you from me,
I smell you when I breathe.
I swear what destiny's planning
Is a blessing in disguise
But when my lids fall closed at night,
I feel your gentle eyes.
It is supposed to heal with time,
But time's in a wounded sleep
Alone and shivering in my bed,
I grasp at your fading heat.
Drift to whatever's inbetween
A place where no one can feel or care
Weave my fingers through my excuses,
But I wish it were your unkempt hair.
Trust misleading me into hope
I'd jump the pier for those sailed ships.
Tears of betrayal graze my mouth,
But I'd die for them to be your lips.
Your lies might help my brokenness
It will sustain me just enough
Although your ghost will help me sleep,
I'll wish forever it were your love.
