I still recall the look on your face,
Canine toothed smile,
I lost track of time.
I remember when you called me a disgrace,
Said it as a joke,
Heartstrings, did it poke.
I should let you go, and I want to,
But I don't want to, I just have to,
You make me cry on the daily,
But I still want to call you, baby.
I'm not alive until your voice,
The only thing that pulls me out of the void,
You pushed me into the first place,
With that stupid canine grin on your face.
You never stop talking about my talents,
Were you just bluffing?
Cause now I can't feel a thing.
Hold my hand and press it your heart,
How long has it been since,
It beat for something besides sins?
I should forget about you, but I don't want to,
But it's what I need and I have to,
I torture myself every night,
You don't see the signs of my plight.
My friends don't see what's going on,
I always leave the porch light on,
How long since you showed up for me?
How long since you left her for me?
Why won't you just do the right thing,
And stop this fighting
Inside your head,
Cause I'm the one that's dying.
Why can't we just stop the world,
While I find the words?
"I want to let you go,"
That's what I want.
I should accept that it's over, it's colder,
The corpse of this love has turned older,
Your grin may have resurrected me,
But it dug my grave again.
Your laugh still echoes,
All that love, I'll never know,
But my love is still here,
I can feel you near,
Right around the corner,
Just tell me when the game is over.

PoetryYou were my oxygen, Now I just want smoke, You can stare death in the face, Now I want your memories to go. Your mom's okay, your dad isn't, just call him back, I don't want to say a single word about them, So I'll just stop at that. If I was oxygen...
