i am breaking
in ways i never thought one could break
i thought i had been shattered before
but this is a new kind of sorrow
i wish no one has to feel

it's a feeling of defeat
and wondering "what did i do wrong?"
it's the feeling of not being enough
and losing the one person you love

how does one move on from this?
how do i move past you?
when you were the person who made me
finally feel like i was worthy of something

i thought you could feel the love
pouring from my chest
and the way my eyes shine
as they rest upon your face
looking at you with care and admiration

i didn't know being honest and
being open about my feelings
would lead to this pain
that's breaking my chest
crushing it more and more as time goes on
when i just wanted to fix things
when i just wanted us to move out
of the quicksand we're stuck in

now that you left
everything feels so pointless
everything feels wrong
this is something i don't think
i'll ever be able to move past
