"There's always better than your best" - Me


You are allowed to let your fingers tremble

at the mention of his name

Sing songs that make you cry

and tell your friends that he's to blame

stay up all night sobbing

trying to sow back all your seams

Scared to fall asleep

'cause you might see him in your dreams

Laugh at stupid jokes

to cover up the bruising hurt

Bite your tongue when asked of him

and respond with but a word

Play his favorite song

till it gets stuck inside your head

tremble at his name stay up all night

until you forget

You are allowed to leave your pillows stained

with tears that you have cried

Sit back and let your heart tear

at the pictures that you find

Stay inside for days

the world just looks so dim

Nothing feels the same

if its not done with him

You can stare up at the ceiling

looking for a reason to live

Sit in bed all day

to get away from hopelessness

Break down when it hits you

that he's not coming back

Fall asleep in his T-shirt

to feel the comfort that you lack

You can break yourself because

you thought it was true love

But please dont get so sad

where you feel like giving up

It's okay to grieve, but it's not okay to let it overcome you.
