I was looking out the car window
Watching as snow conquered the land
Who gave it the right
To mess up a perfectly beautiful scene?

I saw planes
But no stars
The stars don't come out to see me anymore
The planes were flying fast
How I wished I was on a plane
Traveling as far away from here as possible

The planes looked like little twinkling lights
They're starting to take place of the stars
When I was five
I used to look at the planes
And wish I was on one
Traveling as far away from here as possible

Some things never change

I've yet again
Found myself crying
Over the same ******* thing

When will you come back?
When will you come back?
When will you come back?

This question plays
Over and over again in my head
I need to wake up
I can't stay in this made up world forever

Perhaps I'll spend forever
Waiting for you
It will be an eternity before you come back

You'll never come back
You'll never come back
You'll never come back

I thought I saw a fire
But it was only in your eyes
You waited so dearly for her
All you said to me was lies

I think I witnessed a ******
I'm not sure if it's my own
I remember you were screaming
Telling me to go

So many nights
I stayed awake in my bed
Crying and bleeding
Trying to get you out of my head

I thought I saw a future
But it was less than a year
I held on tight to you
But it all ended with a beer

I didn't read for a long time
It reminded me too much of you
Every book I picked up
Felt like a shard of glass
Piercing into my stomach

I've spent quite some time
Trying to figure out
Why you would leave me
What I did wrong

It wasn't until a month ago
Nearly two years after the breakup
That I figured out
I didn't do anything wrong
I loved and loved
But you weren't ready

I feel as though
If we were to meet for the first time
Today
Things will be different
Maybe we could have made this last

I spent months
Trying to avoid anything that reminded me of you
But that meant shutting the world out
I threw my books everywhere
I couldn't take the pain

I started reading a new book today
I'm trying to heal

I've spent years
Trying to find romance
In the tragedy I swore was love
But there was no love
In that basement

There was obsession

I was madly in love
With the idea of being in love
I let it consume me
I spent a year trying to patch myself up
For nothing

There was no love
There was no wounds
But **** I swear

Sometimes I still feel the scars

Before we met, you never cried.
MD Jan 2014
I should have been watching
For all the simple signs
That you were not as invested in me
As I was
In you

It was all physical
Wasn't it?

I watched you fall asleep
Nearly every night
And how I wished you would dream of me
You never watched me sleep
You never asked about my dreams

I would kiss you
And sometimes you wouldn't
Kiss back

I wrote about you
All the time
But the only time you ever wrote about me
Was the text messages
At 3am
Telling me that I never meant
A single thing
To you

(You mean the world to me)
