I Miss the Old You
you have broken me all the way down
i have no more to give
you have stolen the innocence of this love
you have created a monster where it used to be pure
i loathe the very scent of your presence
i gag upon the thought of you breathing on me
but i can’t live without you
i can’t function without your words
say it out loud
say you want to hurt me
let me hear the words dripping off of your tongue
tell me you are in it to steal my soul
the truth is the only thing that keeps me alive
without it i can only wonder
without it i want to tear my heart out
without the very words from your lips
i do not exist
i float from heart to heart
draining the very beat you rely on
