Nothing I Could Ever Write

Heartbreak in Metaphors

I'm too young
To feel for you how I do
To breathe in and out for you
And let your words hurt me

I'm too fragile
To have you drop me off a cliff
And beg me to latch onto a branch
And scream your name until you see me

I'm nothing
unless I know you're with me
You left me stranded at war
And I'm sitting where we were while you left

I'm alone
I'm cold, scared,
and wishing you could come back
Hold me and kiss the pain away

I shot the gun
And you ran from the bullet
And its logical
But I didn't want you to

I wanted you to grab it
And throw it back at me
Teach me
So I know how to fend for myself

But you can't catch a bullet
And you can't throw it back...
You can run back
But only if you know the way

But you don't
So I'm lost
In a war zone
Alone
