Hits Harder

It doesn't hit the same way anymore.


It hits harder.

It hurts more like 

life crushing in my chest.


How many times do I need to feel this

before it doesn't kill me anymore.


You take the breath right out of my lungs 

like it was always yours.

You hit the beat right out of my heart 

like the pitch would even matter.

You knock me flat to the ground 

and then walk all over what's left of me.

You steal my life 

like it was mine to begin with.
