this was supposed to be happy but what's that?

my body was filled with carcasses
all from previous broken hearts

until you came along

and you showed me what it's like to love again

you pulled
tore
dragged
those carcasses out of my body

and suddenly i felt whole again

i thought we'd last forever

but i was wrong

and

one day with whiskey stained breath

i will walk up to your door
and lightly knock
i'll spill all of the words
i could never say when i was sober

and you'll stare at me like i'm some crazy person
because it's 2 am
and i shouldn't be missing you

i'll speak with my hands
and my eyes

you'll feel every word piercing into your skin
like a million of raindrops
falling on you

you'll realize what you've been missing

and i'll go home

and i'll drink more whiskey

and i'll put on your favorite show

and i'll cry until i fall asleep

becausw
this is how i cope
this is how i deal with missing you

you've ruined love for me

i'm scared to fall in love

with anybody

ever again
