he looks at me like he is undressing my soul

the memories we made are strung all around this city and they are the noose around my neck

is your skin  as soft as i remember? perhaps i am romanticizing  everything about you. you must forgive me, it is just a habit; being in love with you

i         am             anxious      about     everything   and       nothing              at            all

you took          my favourite                            parts of me         and never gave them back

i’d like to step out of this skin for a while it’s getting claustrophobic in here

each day is a step in the right direction and with each step my feet drag a little less

now that you are gone everything tastes a little less of guilt and a little more of happiness

when you left i felt the life sucked out of me like a kick to the stomach; i was on my knees and gasping for air

i’d like to step out of this skin for a while it’s getting claustrophobic in here

you took          my favourite                            parts of me         and never gave them back

i         am             anxious      about     everything   and       nothing              at            all
