Half The Person

I sit alone on my bed

The image of you engraved in my head

I think back to when you sat in this very room

How i never realized what we had was already doomed

 

We threw a funeral for something that was already dead

You threw it an after party and I cried instead 

I see you now and I just cant't remember

The last time you said you loved me was back in September

 

You'd pick me up and we'd watch drops of rain hit the floow

We'd listen to songs I can't listen to anymore 

We'd talk about our fears and aspirations

Get in fights and you'd let out all your frustations

 

We entered a race we knew we couldn't win

If only loving you wasn't considered a sin

 

You tried to teach me faith and I told you I didn't believe

Now I'm on my knees praying you hadn't decided to leave

Maybe in a different time and place this wouldn't have been so tough

Maybe if I was a different person you would've thought I was enough

 

I sit alone on my bed

The image of you engraved in my head

Empty and broken like half the person I was before

Too bad you and my half don't make up a whole


The author's comments:

I was inspired by a combination of songs about a similar type of relationship. I hope my writing is relatable and makes the reader connect with mine and their feelings.
