update: I don't love you anymore
I don't really even love at all
sometimes, I wish I still did
was it better than this?
time has a funny way of blotting shit out
sound, taste and smell
the first to go
and so the bitter notes of our relationship, of love (if that's what you want to call it)
are dissolved from my memory
yeah I remember sealing ourselves away in your bedroom to cry and fight
but I don't remember how your tears tasted when they drenched my lips
or the sound of your snores when we didn't make up before bed
and you were fast asleep
and I was suffocating sobs
it's not supposed to be easy but
it's not supposed to be this hard
I've hardly seen a lonely day since I left you
you had a knack of making a bad day last a whole week
and the months were filled with them
since I left you, I've had only good weeks
34 good weeks
you used to say you couldn't remember the last time it'd been good
now I cant remember the last time it was bad
maybe I dont feel so intensely like I used to
but its better than the black hole in my body
that opened up
whenever you were around
