I've compared your beauty to that of the ocean
More times than I can count
On my ten toes
And ten fingers.
Yet, I still find ways to overlook the atrocities
You committed by finding new ways to see you.
You're gone, but I'm still attached.
I don't sleep at night,
For I think of what could have been if I stayed.
If I endured your torturous words and phrases,
All of which I had never heard before I met you.
It's been years since I first described you--
Someone I had never met.
I knew there was someone coming for me.
Someone who would break my heart in more ways than one.
Someone who would tear me apart
And build me back up
Just to crush me again.
How someone like you could still hold my heart
Confuses me more than I care to admit.
I would search the ends of the world--
The highest mountains,
The lowest valleys,
The darkest caverns,
And the bottomless ocean--
Just to find where we went wrong,
And how I could fix you.
How I could fix us.
