You hurt me once
But only because
I let you in
A little too far
It’s been a while
Since I’ve let fingers
Curl around my heart
I’m not ok
At least not yet
But I will be soon
And while
I’ll always love you
You’ll not get the chance
To hurt me again

The nights
Are always
Hardest
When my mind drifts
Nightmares claim me
And all I can do
Is wonder
Why it all broke
But the fool in me
Still craves the night
As it still
Craves you

Do you remember
The way it sounds
When I growl your name
Because I’ll never forget
How it feels
To have your name
Drip from my lips
And you may not
Hear me anymore
But I still whisper
Your name

How we say goodbye
Always says more
About who we are
Than how we say
hello

Hello is always filled
With false promises
But goodbyes
Are only ever filled
with truths

The most telling
Sort of goodbye
Is the one
Where there is
no goodbye

When instead
Of sad filled sorrows
Or angry accusations
We simply fade
softly away
