Shifted

As the space grew between us 
I found myself missing you... 
mourning you... 
grieving you. 

But over time 
my sorrow shifted into anger 
and I was left trying to remember 
why I was ever upset 
in the first place.

D

I don't know how you did it, 
but I do understand why. 

Your pain made death look better, 
than trying to stay alive.

Deserving

Half-hearted attempts 
and bare minimum efforts 
will not keep me around. 

I deserve more than that... 

I deserve more than you.

Fault

It isn't your fault. 

It's my fault. 

I was the one 
who believed that you 
would be different 
than the rest.

The Last

I like to think that you 
think about me too, 
but deep down I know 
I am the last person 
on your mind when you 
go to sleep at night. 

You rest soundly, 
while I struggle 
to close my eyes.
