tourniquet

I wish it was harder for me to forgive you
I hate the way I still think of you so fondly 
you left me grasping at straws while you had let go 
was I just to pass the time and nothing more? 

I reminisce the time when we were something
you were everything to me, but to you I was temporary 
you killed me with your words
I cant take it anymore

I kneel down to tie your loose laces, you left mine undone
the roses I got for you wilted, would you plant some for me?
I try to sleep to the memories of you laying on my chest
the same chest you seeped your hand into and stole from

my reflection of you has shattered, my hands bleed trying to repair it
does this mean you wont tend to my cuts because you don't want to expose yours
you leave me here to die, cover up your tracks
you tell me we're just friends, nothing more than that

your arms were my tourniquet 
now I feel myself slowly bleeding out 
my memories are fading
I hope you get everything you want once I have forgotten you 
do you think of me as much as I think of you?
