If I have the same responsibilities every single day

And they never go away?

I’m obviously getting tired of them,

Is that the point?

They’re going to get me

Little did I know

A turn of the doorknob

Would open a door of new opportunities

But they’re holding me back

You’re what keeps me together

Or you would be,

If I were not water

Despite your presence,

I can’t help, and neither can you,

But fall apart

I liked to keep your clothes

And savor the smell

But since you left,

It triggers my asthma

If another man wears it,

I have to leave the room,

Who admire the sky

Because at least that means

They keep their head up

Most days, I don’t even notice the sky

I’m usually looking down at my feet,

If I even go outside at all

I love people

Who admire the sky,

And take photographs

Because they remind me

That the ones that try the hardest

Mourn me if I die,

Adore me when I’m here,

Need me when I’m not,

Love me the way I love you,

Feel the way I do,

Since you’ve been gone

It’s unsettling to know

That the world keeps spinning

And that life goes on

And that I’m expected to keep living

Why I woke up craving suicide

Until I realized,

It’s because in my dream,

I was dead

And rest my heart

Right on top of yours,

Maybe mine could teach yours

How to beat

And we could create our own

But I’ll love it anyway

Because you’re in it, too

And I’m so sorry

That I couldn’t be enough

I wonder if people imagine

That those could be my last,

Or if the thought

Of me being gone

Or not mature enough

Too loud and annoying,

Or too timid and reserved

What’s the perfect formula

I never want to love again

Love makes you crazy,

But you get even crazier

Once your love is gone

If I choose to love you,

I could never stand to see you die.

Let go of you?

Every time we touch,

Our skin gets stuck

Not that I’m complaining,

But I’m worried you will

I’m not trying to force it,

But sparks fly everywhere

And set the dry leaves ablaze

As the way you look at me

I couldn’t bring myself

To turn it off

You left your bed a mess that morning

As if you expected

To hop right back in that night

You didn’t call me

Is it because

You thought we’d get to talk again?

Why are you sleeping in that box?

Why does your stomach look so empty,

And why doesn’t it rise and fall?

I don’t understand why this is happening

You weren’t supposed to be gone
