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.

Wanted

Even if everything you said 
in those moments were lies, 
please never tell me that 
your words were not real. 

Let me move on believing that 
I was all you had ever wanted.
