Losing You
Losing you was like losing a piece of me
Losing you was like making a puzzle without a piece
Losing you was like running a marathon without the directions
Losing you was like sinking in quicksand
I still remember the color of your eyes
I still remember the sound of your voice
It was like velvet to my ears
It made me melt sometimes
I don’t know why I fell for you
You made fun of me all the time
You basically called me worthless
But I was like a puppet and you were like my master
When you weren’t around I didn’t know what to do with myself
Then you left for good
When you left a piece of me died
When you left I didn’t speak for days
When you left I was in disarray
I couldn’t speak your name
You were a villain
I was too dumb to see the pain you made me feel
I blamed myself for failing you
But in fact you failed me
I was never enough for you
No matter what I did it just wasn’t enough
I would cry at night because I knew I could never make you happy
I cried myself to sleep
You told me goodbye and I was silent
You had done this before and I thought you’d come back
But you left and that was the end
My heart was left to feel the sting
But in fact I didn’t feel anything
It’s been a year now and it still hurts like it was yesterday
I still cower when someone says your name
You blocked me on everything because you said it was too much
I just watched because I was stunned
Your name has six letters
Those six letters I like to skip over
The alphabet to me has twenty letters
If we count your last name I have to skip four more
Plus the letters I skipped before
Now the alphabet has sixteen
I can’t listen to my favorite song anymore
You’re the one who played it for me
I can barely listen to music because I think of you
My heart doesn’t beat like it used to
It beats a little slower and takes a little longer
Sometimes I forget I’m alive
I’ve dated people after you but I never feel the same
They always leave because they know I’ll never love them
I feel so alone without you
I should have known you’d leave that day you told your girlfriend I meant nothing
That was when we were friends; I should have let go before I got hurt
I let you stab me time and time again until you got tired of me
I let you in again and again until you finally left
First I was relieved the pain was finally over
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks
You wouldn’t be coming back for me
I wasn’t enough for you to fight for
That dreadful day in March
Now I haven’t applied to colleges
I didn’t take the tests to get in
I gave up my dreams because you were the one who told me to have them
I can’t go to the college I planned to
I can’t even pay attention in class
I barely even speak
Cause of that dreadful day you left me
You came back a few months later
Telling me you had someone
You told me you wanted me back
Sadly I believed you
You broke down my walls again
Then you left me broken all together
Many months have gone by
I still can’t say your name
I still can’t smile
I still don’t laugh
You go through my mind at least once a day
Who am I kidding you never leave
Cause of that chilling day in March
