I could feel the hope spreading through my body
Seeping into my bones
Causing me to wish for such things I could never dream of before
But where were you?
I always knew this day would come
And I know you didn’t mean to
But you did
And now I’m alone
But where were you?
Where were you when I couldn’t breathe
Couldn’t sing
Couldn’t smile
Couldn’t dream
You weren’t there
You disappeared
Vanished from sight
I should’ve known
Not to let myself hope
But I saw you
I could feel the hope spreading through my body
Seeping into my bones
Causing me to wish for such things I could never dream of before
But where were you?
I told myself not to go overboard
I told myself to take it as it comes
So is it my fault?
Did I hope for too much
Too soon?
I tried
And apparently failed
To express how I felt
And what I wanted
Not that you cared
All you wanted was freedom
Freedom from me
Freedom from whatever chains I unknowingly placed on you
Just know
That I never meant to
I knew we’d go our separate ways
Even though we were as close as could be
We’d be separated eventually
I just never thought
It’d happen this soon
Now that you’re gone
There’s a whole different kind of living for me
Breathing without lungs
Living without a heart
And that
Is only the beginning
