we sat there in the park
just talking and losing
ourselves to each other
trusting and vacant
through the grass
then two rights
then the bridge
where we locked our love
and threw away the key
into the riverbed below
that lock is still there but we are not
and today in that very same park the leaves are rotting
i'll tear off all of my skin and grow a new shape
and i will learn to love again

I still miss the cigarette smoke from the window
And the icy cold, from last year.
But you're not here, and I miss the laughter.
Its only been one year and I'm still the same.
I'm still broken,I'm still angry,
I'm still selfish.I'm still me
And if I asked would you stay.
But for once I'm sure, I want to die without you
I guess these are just little steps to feeling lighter
to feeling better, to feeling me.
I'm sick in my chest, I guess you'd call it love
But it's a pain that I can't shake.
Your smile used to light up the whole room
but now I keep the curtains drawn, with the lights off.
I kept the ghost of what could have been
I crawled I cried I tried to leave
I haven't slept in days and you don't seem to smile anymore.
I still sit outside every night just to feel alright
I miss your breath on my neck trying to keep me warm
