The Blood & The Bones

Hey stranger..

Could you help me? I need a distraction.

I don’t want to remember what I refuse to forget. I’m tired of it all swirling inside my head. Like sand in a tornado.

We never stood a chance ..

And we never had one either.

But he comes back and I feel myself slipping towards the darkness.

And, I swear, if I don’t shake him, I fear, my light will go forever like a broken bulb or the world’s last sunset.

It’s been so many days that felt like weeks and minutes like months. Is time a thing in heartbreak or are we in this waiting room forever?

I don’t have that anymore. No time to waste. Or the hope to spare. I want to be free. But I still say his name inside my head just to feel something. I bite my lip so I don’t let it slip from them or I’ll be back where I started. Broken hearted. Wanting a thing that doesn’t exist from a man with lies on deck, a story built on what could break us. And he did. He broke me time and time again. And made me forget about love that goes without question. What was love ever like that you could believe in?

Hey stranger, if you could help me to forget. I’ll give you what is left. Put your fingers on my skin. Tell me I am worthy of forever again. But the kind that really lasts a lifetime and not just a couple seasons. Tell me you’ll stay and mean it. Does anyone ever mean it? And I won’t bring him up again if you’ll just hold me til you feel something and show me hearts can mend and time can bend in our favor. If you don’t mean it, just pretend. I’ll never know the difference, like I never knew with him.
