Breathe

You sit there and say wow

This hurts

All the love in the world just smashed your heart into the tiniest pieces

When you close your eyes you see dreams that you wish you had

When you breathe you feel the hollow pain in your chest

Breathe,

That's what you tell your self

Don't think about it and it'll go away you say

Breathe

You sit there staring out your window 

Fighting back every tear

Every memory

Then just one pops into your head

That one year slid down your cheek

Breathe

One memory then another 

Like the tears the run down your face

It's ok you'll say

It'll be better in time 

Which is true but how much time

You sit there wishing for them to return

Breathe

You cry so much that your body does it automatically when you even start the idea of this person.

Breathe 

See what you don't understand is that I try to breathe I try to see

But when I breathe

All I can think about is the way you smelt

Then from the smell to your body

Your body to your eyes 

How they always were so gentle and they were always so kind

From your eyes to your mind because you always thought out side the box and were always so pure and understanding 

From your mind to your heart cause we were convinced that it was big enough to fix the world 

From your heart to your mouth..

When you said those hurtful words

The last words you said to me

Breathe

From the words to the pain I now feel 

Lost, empty, hollowed, pain

Like all the the fairytales you were told as a child were just there to mock you

Breathe

You scream to try to let go of the pain that keeps you held captive

Breathe

But here we are now wind blowing and nights cold 

I see my breath in the cold and I'm aware that I'm alive 

But my heart it hurts

When you said goodbye 

Breathe
