But I Love You

I’m sitting on the floor
And you can’t take no more

Tears run into puddles
And blood seeps through the towel

I’m trying to explain
And you’re in so much pain

Gauze hits the ground
And things are spiraling down

I’m so completely sorry
And you won’t hear a word

But don’t you understand?
Each one’s for you
Every cut and every scar
Tells a story of a broken heart

I’m getting up to go
And you won’t see me again

Feet clomp on the ground
And nails dig into fists

I’m out the door
And you’re forgetting

Laughs are melting into the past
And screams echo

I’m just a shadow of a person
And you’ll never really know

Memories choke the mind
And hearts rip apart

I’m disappointed at how it ended
And you no longer care

Words slip and snap
And people come and go

I’m drowning in my thoughts
And you are fine now

Pain keeps building
And the dam is breaking

I’m sad, tired, and alone
And you have moved on

But we were friends once
Close as could be
Children who loved and cared
With out a second thought
