Suffocating

That last kiss we shared
Ruined love for me
You took the breath from out of my lungs
And now I'm suffocating
In a land of pretend

I'll day dream of you breathing life into me
With that last kiss you stole,
That sealed the agony in my bones
I pray you can save me from myself
And just let me get a breath of fresh air

Suffocating til the day you rescue me
Am I forever doomed
Harmed by love
And unable to give what I get back
Your memory still invades my thoughts

What you broke;
Will it ever regrow?
Or will I be alone in love forever
An unfazed zombie with a heart of gold
Forever a walking corpse
That forgot how to love

Will a new prince come and rescue me,
Or tell me is it still you my hearts longing for
Waiting on closure,
And hatred steps in,
Washing away every good trait,

Leaving a trail of passive aggressive remarks and red flags,
I must have thought we're a carnival,
Or maybe I mistake neglect for a form of love,
From all my childhood trauma

I must have found peace in your chaos
Bc as this finally closes on you,
I realize I only ever loved you
Bc you were broken just like me
And you played pretend

Showing me a love that was never real,
You just wanted me,
And not my heart,
You fell in love with only parts of me,
And now he falls for all of me, everyday.
