Love
You taught me what it was
But I guess I never truly understood
I thought it was the butterflies
The smiles
The sparkle in your eyes
But it’s not
The truth is love is foolishness

Love
It’s a parasite
It attaches itself the victim, feeding off of them until nothing is left
Then it leaves and moves on to the next

Love
Your love was toxic
But I’m addicted to poison
And everytime I see you
My heart sinks just a little more
Because it’s hard to pretend I’m fine
When on the inside my heart is broken-
No, not just broken
Completely shattered

Love
When I look into your eyes
I see galaxies
And it hurts, knowing that you can’t even find a single star in mine
I guess I never knew what pain was
Until you gave her that smile
That smile that can melt a heart into a puddle
That smile that you used to save for me
Because darling, knives cut
But oh how your love kills
And here I am dying
While you’re just watching like a stranger
So please tell me
What is your defintion of love?
Watching them suffer?
Hurting them?
Making an angel lose her wings to a devil?

Love
It’s the only other word on my mind besides you
On those nights that never seem to end
When your eyes water
But the tears just won’t come out
When your throat burns
But words can’t escape

Love
If only you could see how much you really mean to me
But you’re blind
And I tried to speak my love to you in braille
But you still can’t seem to understand
Just how my love for you is a fire that burns bright in even the heaviest of rains
And how I wish I could let go of you like you let go of me
But when you were walking away
I was following
And I swear our love is a ghost that haunts me everyday
And I’m positive that the pain inside my chest is you
Clawing your way out of my heart and ripping it to shreds

Love
It bruises your soul
Floods your mind with millions of thoughts
So many thoughts that you’re about to drown
Hopelessly crying for help

Love
I’m broken, but you’re the glue that holds me together
I wish you knew that you were my oxygen
So it’s no wonder once you left I found myself struggling to breath
And here I am endlessly wishing for you to come back
Please
Come back
