The moment I realized im not over you
5/11/26 6:21 PM
In my bed windows open
Cool air filled the room
Rustling trees and sad country songs
I sat alone in the dark consumed by the songs you taught me to love
Hearing your voice in each line
Smelling your cologne in each guitar strum
Feeling your arms around me
With each drumbeat echoing through the dead night
I feel the pain of each heartstring stretch out to you then
Snap.
I cave and crawl back to you like an addict to her vice
I wish my addiction was something simple, a bottle, a powder,
something that doesn’t kiss your neck
then pretend not to see you in the hallway
I read the final messages you sent
Hoping i'd remember how my heart bent
But even through the fire the thought of you was ice cooling me
You made me cry and I still wanted you
You're the medicine I need but also the one killing me
I’m told you’re not good for me,
but my body and mind crave you anyway
And I looked at you with bedroom eyes, hoping you wouldn’t see the tears
and would want me back
even for a night
But I never win that fight
