Brianna
I remember your smile
I remember your songbird laugh
I remember when you told me you were dead on the inside
You told me I was too late
I could not help you
But Brianna
Do you remember my hummingbird heartbeat?
That day you collapsed in on yourself
You are a supernova waiting to happen
You are the smell of rain on the asphalt
You are every pair of shoes on a dead horse
You are the reason I do not sleep anymore
Brianna
Tell me when you see the stars
Tell me how they shine
Tell me how you'll never be able to go back to anything else.
Tell me how her eyes sparkle with the beauty of a thousand suns
Tell me how you think she's the one
Tell me how you think she's forever
Brianna
Tell me how you can't decide who to choose
Tell me again how you cheated on her
Tell me again how your guilt staircases your spine
Tell me again how I should be the one to fix this
Brianna
As if I never meant anything more to you than a midnight phone call
As if all I was good for was breaking the bad news
As if it was my job to make sure your crimes didn't kill you before you could do it yourself
Brianna
You, girl, who sees stars
Listen to your supernova heart
And maybe one day you'll realize
Those stars are just specks of dust
Those stars are only beautiful until you see galaxies
And I know you think you see them in her eyes
But all along, I've found them in yours.
