I remember the very next day

you didn’t look at me the same anymore

The expression on your face changed when you looked over at me

Should’ve known then that you loved me less

Each passing day, you took away a piece of your love

You chipped away at your own heart

Gathered your love for me and left it by the door

In a perfect box for me to open

One foot in, one foot out

You stopped inviting me in

And watched me drown in the rain

I grew even when you held my head underwater

You grew around me but never grew up

And despite it all, I still loved you

 

My perfect life slipped away from my fingertips

The way sand does when you try to pick it up

All at once life came crumbling down

I hurried to gather the crumbs off the floor

From the cookies you ate without me

To piece together what was left

But by then your love for me perished

You shipped the box out, never to be found again

But you lied and tricked me like a thief

You stole my life and sold it to my enemy

She lives within, awoke from the dirt you threw at me

 

What have you turned me into?

An unlovable woman who lives alone at the top of a Mountain

A Mountain that you created with your lies

A promise is not a promise unless it's a pinky promise

Guess it was my fault for not sealing the deal

The day you left, you were so casual, so unbothered

As if we were business partners parting ways

I wept, thrashed, kicked, and screamed

I was a baby who cried for her mother

But I didn’t want her, I wanted you

I wanted you to feed me one last lie

That you’ll love me forever
