The space between heart beats
The time between friends
I hope I never have to see you again
The thought of your smile
Still takes away my breathe
Only this time it’s hampered by disgust
The distance to despair,
The loss of care
I dream of the day
When you are not there
The life I once had
Is now in the trash
The piano is covered
A layer of thick ash,
The smoke has settled
And I am still here,
Waiting to sing but I can’t even breathe
The space between heartbeats
I wish I could retrieve
Every waking moment
Makes me believe
I would rather be alone
Then think of you again
You are not my love
You are not even a friend
The knife is bloody, my back is sore
Please leave it there
I just don’t want the scar
I would rather have the burden
Of pulling out the knife
Than a reminder of you
Every day of my life.
Take these memories
They are yours to keep
