How do I say this
Without breaking?
Without hurting?
Without missing You?

I can't.
Because I am broken.
I do hurt.
I do miss you.

And I hide it.
But not very well.

I loved
But I lost
And I gave up
And I gave in
To the terrible thing
We call hope

Of course
I lost it.
I lost it all.

My sanity
My sleep
My friends

My tears took over
and kept falling
And falling
Until finally
I learnt to take
The same smile you do.

And to this day
I still want to die
But I want to keep going
To see
If I can get you
Back again.

But I know
You don't care anymore
You still fill my thoughts
When someone else isn't
But it's filled
with hurtful memories.

Once we parted
I started eating less
Sleeping less
Talking less
Getting mad at the little things
Crying more
Missing more

But then I stopped all that.
And I was just
Empty.
