Leave Me Be

Get out of my head
you don’t belong there,
Get out of my thoughts please don’t bombard them,
Get out of my life 
Even though I said I wanted you here
but now it's too much for me.

You used to smell like home
but now you smell like 
the familitary of a longing memory,
the thought of  you loving her
your hands hold her heart 
like you once did to me, 
Curiosity floods my mind
as I sit here and wonder 
if she knows
you will someday
shatter her heart too.

Through the halls
when I see your face
secretly hoping you’ll see me too 
and be reminded
of those sweet summer days
dazed by each others magnetic cling
but maybe I was the only one fazed,
Crazed in the way I thought actions
were supposed to speak
louder than words.

Words like I love you
bring me joy,
shown by you holding my hand
even when my palms sweat with insecurities,
Or the way you’d wipe the tears from my checks
so they wouldn’t fall down my neck,
Little did you know the tears I shed now

are because of you 
they are for you,
Your memory floods back
like a tsunami,
Violently and all at once. 

Like the tears I shed at night,
Fright chills me to the core,
Ignore your name
that lights my phone up at night
Seen how love can
make or break someone
I'm done being hung up on you,
But sadly that's not up to me.
