Machine

Folder: 
The Letters

 

I only keep on because I 

am a machine

this body is torn. Tired. 

Cells, atoms

even breaths are bombs in

my lungs

i can't love no one else but you

 

and life lost it's salt

 

and it hurts to feel real

 

you moved on

 

everyday I put on my war paint 

and I hack away at all the promises and

soft kisses you are giving to her

 

they were mine, once

 

but I love you so much that I 

have let you go

to be free

to have a chance

 

even though it is killing me

no, you will never know how dead I really am

 

you don't care enough to look back

I don't blame you

there is not much left of me

because I can't love anyone but you
