Bits and pieces

I still remember you
I see pieces of you
Maybe not as much as I used to
Sometimes I feel as if you're still here
I remember your curly hair
I remember your superhero t-shirts
Maybe not as much as I used to
There are just bits and pieces
Floating around
That bring an empty pang in my chest
I guess I never realized
How much attention I actually paid
Until you were gone
And all I have left are the bits and pieces
Which I can cling to desperately
Maybe not as much as I used to
Who am I kidding?
I wake up every day with guilt
Wearing it like a coat
I think of how I could've
Saved you
I think of how you wanted to be saved
But nobody came
So you had to "save yourself"
But saving to you
Was dying to us
