lose you more

every night

I lose you more

my fight or flight keeps showing you the door

my shattered heart bleeding out on the floor

I want to cling to you, I feel so needy

is there anything to cling to? no way to make it even?

you were already gone before I knew you were leaving

you brand me as wrong and won’t listen or believe me

your glossy eyes stare as if I’m not even speaking 

you twist your knife, I can’t stop leaking

feels a lot like I’m not healing, I’m breaking

its so hard to lose you, on repeat repeating

I never truly had you in the first place. Did I ?

0 mph seems to be the fastest pace you fly

all the times you seemed sincere while lying straight to my face, why ?

all the times you said you loved me then went and loved on her and her and her instead

the way you put me last is permanently burned in my head

now you sleep while I sob and you laugh while I’m in pain

how you so quickly sacrifice me for your own short-term gain 

how I never feel seen and you never try repair

how we started being mean and you stranded me there

how the loss of you just thoroughly defeats me

how your slow fade eats and eats and eats at me

I take a mental beating daily, with curdled cream

stinking up my hopes and dreams

every day

I lose you more

in whole new ways we have yet to explore

you were always one foot way out the door

the empty promises, the unfulfilled “more”

they haunt me as you turn to ghost

your mirage of riches that left me broke

I weep at the grave of us, I choke

every night

every day

as I lose you more
