I don't know what I'm supposed to do today
Lay flowers on your nonexistent grave?
Do I wail or cry or cause a scene?
Should I romanticize you to a wispy dream?

Because I miss you Cas
There's no denying that
I miss you like the stars miss the night sky
I never knew what it meant to say good-bye

Only with you could I shine
Only with you did I collect worry lines
Only with you did I starve to the death
And cherish every stolen breath

You were my muse, songs composed to the beat of your heart
You were my friend. I don't know how to feel apart
You fed me poison with sugar-spun lies
Cotton candy wrapped around my shrinking thighs

You let me believe I was imperfect
Pointed out every crack in my surface
You held my face in your hands
Took me to foreign lands
And you reminded me how to be sick

So I guess I'll write a million poems
Until I find the one
That sets you free to stop haunting me
And makes me writer, slave to none
